Abstract/Contents:Presents the results of water flow evaluations in three types of golf greens: USGA (United States Golf Association), California, and push-up. States that in the USGA green, "the progression of drying across the green...shows more intense root-zone drying in regions of the green where the perched water was removed at 24 hours." Reports that "water infiltration into the push-up green and the interruption of flow at the root zone/clay loam interface resulted in a virtually saturated soil profile when the rain ended at hour five." Results indicate that "throughout the seven days of this simulation, 70 percent, 63 percent and 9 percent of the total rainfall drained from the USGA, California and push-up greens, respectively. Thus, even though the amount of rainfall occuring on the push-up green was 25 percent of the others, a disproportionate small fraction of the rainfall found its way to the drainage trenches in the push-up green." Concludes that "although there is substantial evidence that the simulations accurately depict water flow in these greens, it is important to remember that the greens were subject to extreme environmental conditions and that the simulations used a root zone with emphasized transmission attributes."
