Abstract/Contents: | Discusses maintenance planning during course construction, stating that "construction costs, wetlands restrictions, finances and other pressing issues usually dominate a developer's time. But a short-sighted approach can make [the superintendent's] life really painful down the road." Provides several pieces of advice, stating that "bunkers without proper drainage suffer washouts"; "bunker complexes need to be accessible to mowers"; and recommends that superintendents "be generous with the rows, size and number of sprinkler heads." |
