| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how to "produce quality turf with...limited resources - equipment, material, budget, knowledge and human captial." Suggests that "a point person needs to be appointed to make critical decsions when the field should be closed due to weather or safety conditions. This person needs to be someone who has the best interest of both the athlete and the field conditions in mind, and needs to determine if a common ground can be met that would reasonably satisfy all parties...A person formally trained in turfgrass management or sports field management would be the obvious place to start...[but] consider utilizing a consultant or one of the area golf course superintendents." Recommends to "build that relationship with other groups and organizations, and develop a group or co-op for both materials and equipment." |
