Abstract/Contents:Discusses the application of chemicals on golf courses, focusing on record keeping. Suggests that "keeping good records shows due diligence for [the superintendent] and [his] operation." Explains that "due diligence consists of three parts": "taking all reasonable action to prevent situations from occuring"; "having a plan in place to take appropriate action to stop or control a situation"; and "implementing controls to prevent the situation from reoccuring." Also suggests which spray records to document, including "who sprayed"; "what product was sprayed"; "where was the part of the course that was sprayed"; "when was that part of the course sprayed"; and "how was that part of the course sprayed." Provides information on pocket wind meters, stating that they "provide an easy to read digital readout of the instantanious or average wind speed in a variety of units." Suggests what should be done before spraying, including "read the label"; "calibrate [the] sprayer"; "get adequate operator training"; "know sensitive areas on or around [the] course"; "check [the] insurance policy coverage"; "keep good spray records" and "use common sense."
