Abstract/Contents: | As much attention should be paid to the careful irrigation of the tees as for the greens and approaches. Sprinklers should never be places on the tee itself, merely on the edge, and only the highest quality systems should be employed. Multiple part circle sprinklers (Teilkreisregner) prove more effective and ultimately conserve more water than the use of one full circle sprinkler (Vollkreisregner) or one part circle sprinkler due to the vastly less amounts of time it takes to saturate the surface. Each tee irrigation system should be controlled separately by the computer, and pressure regulating vents (Druckregulierventilen) should be installed along with the magnetic isolating valves to insure uniformity of water pressure so as not to waste water. The diferences between single row, and double row fairway irrigation center on the necessity for high power full circle sprinklers with a large spraying circle placed at the center line of the fairway for the former, and multiple full circle sprinklers placed along the edges of the fairway needing only moderate pressure and spraying circumference for the latter. The single line system proves most effective when the sprinklers are placed at a distance from one another that corresponds to 1/2 of its spraying diameter; placing them farther apart will reduce the amounts of the surrounding surface area that is also irrigated, lowering the overall quality of the turf. |
