The course, on the record  

Turflogic was co-founded by Andrew Terry and Michael McVay and is based in Florida, United States. Working with agronomy teams across the U.S. and beyond, Turflogic is now entering Asia with Thompson Golf Management as a pioneering partner introducing this technology to golf clubs in the region. Its premise is simple: golf course standards should be measurable, consistent, and protected beyond individual experience. By turning regular course observations into data, Turflogic helps make tacit knowledge visible, trackable, and actionable.

What the platform does

Turfscore: Every part of the course receives an objective cumulative score based on turf health, broken down by greens, fairways, tees, and rough. Think of it like a credit score for the turf. It replaces subjective assessment with standardized measurement that can be tracked and compared.

Turf History: Every flight and Turfscore is saved, building a complete historical archive. A timeline slider lets the team scroll back to any point and compare week-to-week, month-to-month, or year-to-year. Track the impact of treatments and prove what is working.

Stress Maps: Color-coded maps classify every square meter into four stress groups. Pinpoint exactly where attention is needed, from greens to roughs, often catching problems before they are visible to the human eye.

Contour Maps: The shape of the course as built, captured precisely, available to the architecture and agronomy team whenever a decision needs it.

Irrigation Maps: A read on where water is going and where it is not. Surface evidence the irrigation team can act on.

Categories of observed stress

Irrigation Stress. Identify dry spots and over-watering before they surface visually. Particularly useful through hot dry stretches when canopy stress moves faster than the eye can track.

Compaction. Detect subsurface compaction restricting root growth and water infiltration on high-traffic features.

Disease. Spot early-stage disease patterns before they spread across features. Critical pressure point on tropical and humid courses where outbreaks travel fast.

Why this matters for the club, not just the agronomy team

A great agronomy team holds an enormous amount of knowledge about the course. Where the soft spots are. Which greens recover slowly. Which fairways need a different watering pattern in August. That knowledge is the club’s most valuable agronomic asset, and on most courses it lives in one place.

When key staff leave, the knowledge tends to go with them. The new team starts from observation, often from scratch, and the club loses years of accumulated understanding.

Turflogic protects against that. Every flight, every map, every score is held on the platform. The institutional knowledge becomes institutional in fact, not just in name.

The same record brings something else: objectivity. A standard that can be pointed to. A way of saying what good condition is, and showing it, rather than relying on the judgment of one person at one moment in time. That is what is meant by bringing standardization to the market.

Black Desert Resort

Black Desert Resort in Greater Zion, Utah, is one of the courses where Turflogic runs in production. The course is read on a regular cadence. The agronomy team has the Turfscore, the history, and the stress map every morning. Treatment decisions are grounded in the record rather than inferred from the last walk of the property.

Across the 2025 season, the platform has held the standard the resort plays to. Stress patterns that would otherwise have read as visible damage have been caught earlier from the imagery. Decisions about water, recovery, and presentation have been made from the data on the screen, not from memory.

The Turflogic Team

Turflogic is led by Andrew Terry, with the team working out of Florida, the golf capital of the world. The team operates across the United States and across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The move into Asia is possible with the support of Thompson Golf Management.

Thompson Golf Management

Thompson Golf Management brings the regional pedigree and a working method built around named systems for soil diagnostics, agronomic templating, and operational standards. Turflogic brings the precision turf record and the platform layer.

Demonstrations on the schedule are anchored in TGM relationships. The data layer on every course sits on the Turflogic platform.
