| Abstract/Contents: | " The following review of scientific literature pertaining to green construction served as a rationale for the changes made in the 1993 version of the USGA Recommendations for a Method of Putting Green Construction. Dr. Hummels recommendations for each phase of green construction were based in part on previous versions of the USGA green construction specifications and in part on information gleaned from the literature. The green construction recommendations finally adopted by the Green Section staff ( see previous section) were compiled with input from the Advisory Committee and the Review Panel." Reviews the following perspectives of an USGA green and recent recommendations in detail: 1) historical perspective, 2) the subgrade, 3) drainage, 4) gravel and coarse sand layers, 5) the root zone mixture, 6) topmix covering, placement, smoothing, and firming 7) seedbed preparation. |
