Sharing Your Digital Job Board With Your Staff

The ability to securely share is perhaps one of the most powerful aspects of Google Sheets

One of the most obvious ways to present your digital job board to your staff is to project it from your office computer to a TV screen in the lunch room. Some people have hardwired the TV to their desktop and others have beamed it over using devices like a Chromecast or Apple Tv.

Share with anyone you want and restrict what they can and cannot do

The real beauty of using Google Sheets is that you can share it with whomever you want. Not only can you share it, you can also set the permissions to restrict what others can do. You can allow individual users or anyone with a link like I have with my job board. You can set the permissions to can view", "can comment", and "can edit". You can also make individuals "owners" of the sheet so that they can in turn share it with others.

view only job board for my staff

With my digital job board I have shared it with my staff, and with the world through my blog. I am the only person that can edit it but I could easily allow other staff to be able to edit it if needed. This would be great if you had assistants responsible for updating the job board. For my staff, I don't want them to be able to edit the sheet. It's a view only job board for them. You could also share it with the pro shop staff so that they can see what is happening in real time on the course. Google Sheets makes it very easy and secure to do this.

Another beauty with sharing your job board is that you employees can access it from anywhere (if you wish to allow them). That way they can check the board from their phones or home computers. This makes the job board not just a physical object in your shop, it's a virtual job board that is capable of keeping your staff organized wherever they are.

Turfgrass speedo is still my most important tool for managing turf growth after 4 years.

It wasn't the easiest year for growing grass , but the conditions were still pretty good. Almost 4 years ago exactly, I came up with the idea of comparing actual clipping yields to the "ideal" clipping yield or the clipping yield adjusted using the Growth Potential Model . Since then, it has proved to be a much more useful tool to manage growth than I originally thought . It has been almost a decade since I started making observations on plant health and playability and how it relates to the clipping yield. I have been constantly searching for ways to get the growth rate right as often as I can and this tool seems to be the best way I have seen so far, and might ultimately, be the best way going forward. To prove this point I will discuss in a future post, the success I've had with pest control in the past few years (for the most part (Not withstanding the times where I think my greens are dead but they actually aren't...thanks T)). Never needed less There are ...

Do you have enough?

I recently discussed how we can use fertilizer ratios to simplify how much fertilizer we apply to help us keep above the MLSN guidelines . When we get a soil test done it is a static amount of nutrients found in the soil. Even if you are above the MLSN guidelines at the time of testing, it doesn't guarantee that you will remain at or above the guidelines as the grass grows and consumes nutrients. There is math that you can use to determine exactly how much nutrient you need to apply to ensure that you remain at or above the MLSN guidelines. For many, this is much too complicated. For that reason I made a quick cheat sheet to help you determine how much of each nutrient you can expect to use each year based off a few different annual nitrogen rates. Nutrient use is based primarily on nitrogen use so the left 2 columns are a few different nitrogen rates. The columns for each nutrient are in PPM and are designed to help you look at your current soil test PPM (mehlich 3) and determin...

How to quantify nutrient content in liquid fertilizer

In a recent post, I discussed how it was actually cheaper to spray soluble vs granular fertilizer. What about if we use pre-mixed liquid fertilizer? How do we even figure out how much nutrient we are applying with pre-mixed liquid fertilizer? Before I learned that you could simply dissolve soluble fertilizer in water and apply it in a sprayer, I was a big user of pre-mixed liquid fertilizers. One of the issues I initially had was figuring out exactly how much of each nutrient I was applying. The math wasn't as straightforward is it was with granular fertilizers. It turns out, it's actually not that difficult but requires an extra step. First, we need to convert the liquid volume into a mass. Many products will have the product density displayed on the label or you can look in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for that information as well. No SDS? Should you be using products without an SDS? Even if this information isn't included on the label it is very easy to figure out. All ...
