Question:"We are building two new greens and wish to know if it is practicable to install an underground watering system to render it unnecessary to make use of sprinklers."
Source of Question:New York
Answer/Response:"The experience has been that surface sprinkling is more desirable. With greens properly constructed as to drainage, it is a simple matter to regulate the amount of water needed to keep the turf in good condition, by the use of surface sprinklers, while with underground irrigation it is difficult to control the applications of water in such a way as to insure good results at all times."
