Identifying trends and patterns paves the way for precise turf management and maintaining top playing conditions for golfers. That kind of analysis can be challenging to do manually based on irregular data-collection and limited sampling areas. Some patterns are not even visible to the naked eye and hard to catch with onsite observations.
That’s why, it’s critical to have access to continuous data on the entire course, which is filling the blanks and allowing you to have a full picture of the turf condition in real time. SKIM monitors the golf course and provides 50,000 data points in average per week for an 18 hole golf course. That allows to detect dynamics in vegetation indices and fluctuations of nutrients or soil moisture levels.
The goal is to build a precise database to check the evolution of the turf condition over time and highlight patterns. Within the application you are able to compare images and review historical data to check if the situation is recurring or if it is happening periodically.
How?
SKIM Turf Management software allows you to:
· Use the calendar to select the dates that you want to compare,
· Check short term periods with a gap of a few days or a few weeks to measure the impact of maintenance activities or external events,
· Reach to historical data to perform year over year comparisons,
· Select between 14 indicators ranging from nutrients in the plant tissue, vegetation indices and soil moisture,
· You can use the comparison mode (see above) or observe areas precisely with the dynamic slider view (see below).
Enhance your turf management thanks to automated and easy-to-use pattern and trend recognition tool by SKIM Turf Management software. Quantify the impact of performed tasks, and adjust your golf turfcare actions based on accurate data delivered to you without any action needed.
