Abstract/Contents:Presents suggestions for turf maintenance including managing micro-environment conditions and soil modificiation. States that "when greens fail, usually there are a myriad of factors that individually are managemable but collectively can be devistating." Concludes that "there is never just one cause for turf failure, nor is there never one solution. All parties involved must be open to change, especially if some things, such as golfer expectations, are not negotiable and other factors, such as stressful conditions, are inevitable."
