Description

Sylvain was formerly a green keeper in France and UK, but is now a consultant agronomist based in Spain. He shares his thoughts on working with golf courses across Europe to develop better playing surfaces for golf, and in this episode gives some wonderful insights about the differences between warm and cool season grasses and key factors to consider when developing an agronomy plan for a golf course.
