Abstract/Contents:Discusses maintenance preferences for golf course play, focusing on firm and fast conditions for potentially better play. Includes the opinion of golfer Stewart Cink, stating that "'to me, the average golfer puts way too much emphasis on greenness. They should be worried about the way the course feels and performs, not the way it looks.'" Details Cink's history in the golf industry, and provides instances in which less irrigation can provide a higher quality course.
