Taking Samples Properly with the POGO
The POGO is designed to be inserted in the ground the same way time after time allowing for consistent measurements
Be sure to insert the POGO completely into the turf so that the plate at the base of the shaft is firmly compressed against the
turf canopy
Routinely sample putting greens at 2 samples for every 1000 ft
2
(93 m
2
) or 9-10 samples for an average size green measuring
approximately 5,000 ft
2
(465 m
2
). Sample fairways, sports fields and other larger areas at approximately 20 samples per acre
The 2 images to the bottom left show typical patterns for routinely sampling 2 different putting greens…one of which is average
in size while the other is larger requiring more samples to adequately capture the conditions of the green
Be sure to completely insert the POGO into the
turf as indicated on the right photo
