#210 - Golf Course Data Layer

This week, I'm in Palm Springs, California, helping build a LoRaWAN data layer across a private golf course. The first use case is simple: BLADE soil moisture sensors in the greens, giving the superintendent real-time insight without relying entirely on manual field scouting. But the bigger opportunity is the network itself. This isn't command and control. The irrigation controller already owns that job. This is a separate, open data layer — one that can support soil moisture, pressure, rainfall, water level, weather, flow, and whatever else we become curious enough to measure. Every golf course needs a data layer. And maybe every large landscape does too. Follow your curiosity. Try something. See what happens. Stay curious, my friends.

This week, I'm in Palm Springs, California, helping build a LoRaWAN data layer across a private golf course.

The first use case is simple: BLADE soil moisture sensors in the greens, giving the superintendent real-time insight without relying entirely on manual field scouting. But the bigger opportunity is the network itself.

This isn't command and control. The irrigation controller already owns that job. This is a separate, open data layer — one that can support soil moisture, pressure, rainfall, water level, weather, flow, and whatever else we become curious enough to measure.

Every golf course needs a data layer.

And maybe every large landscape does too.

Follow your curiosity. Try something. See what happens.

Stay curious, my friends.
