In this episode of the GCSAA Podcast, we sit down with Todd Lowe, a former USGA agronomist who now is part of Envu’s Green Solutions Team. Lowe provides great insights into the El Niño weather pattern that was so nettlesome for golf course superintendents in Florida this past spring and whose effects are still being felt. Lowe shares his personal journey within the golf industry, from early days working with his father to his academic pursuits and various career transitions. He also provides some insight into his role with Envu and the kind of assistance he can provide for turfgrass managers, particularly in the Sunshine State.
