| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses bunkers, stating that "the U.S. [United States] Golf Association [should] draft bunker-performance guidelines that would serve as a baseline." Suggests that "superintendents should take the lead at their respective courses over bunker standards, including sand selection." Discusses sand selection, stating that "the American Society for Testing Materials has developed a defined standard for determining the suitability of sands for bunkers." Describes how to "[take] the lead," stating that "a system for assessing bunker sand performance definitely is needed to help keep maintenance costs and golfer expectations to a realistic level." Concludes that "micromanaging bunkers from sand selection to maintenance is where attention to detail can shine." |
