About this file
This document is a detailed soil testing report from A. McNitt & SerenSoil Testing for a soil sample labeled "DGI K-Sand" submitted by Davisson Golf, Inc. The report, dated February 1, 2023, provides a comprehensive particle size and physical properties analysis of the sand sample, specifically evaluating its suitability for golf course applications according to United States Golf Association (USGA) specifications. The testing was conducted between January 28 and February 1, 2023, and includes analyses of particle size distribution, sieve size analysis, angularity, sphericity, and key physical properties such as bulk density, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity.
The soil sample demonstrates strong alignment with USGA specifications across multiple parameters. Notably, the sample consists of 95.7% sand, with minimal gravel (0.0%), silt (3.0%), and clay (1.3%). The sand's particle size distribution shows 57.8% medium sand, with other fractions including 23.7% fine sand and 8.7% coarse sand. Physical properties like total porosity (45.5%), air-filled porosity (24.4%), and hydraulic conductivity (36.4 in/hr) fall within recommended USGA ranges. The sample is characterized as angular with medium sphericity, and contains a low organic matter percentage of 0.17%. This analysis suggests the K-Sand is well-suited for golf course topdressing and construction applications.
