| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests techniques for constructing golf tees. States that "nothing beats a firm, level, well grassed and maintained tee which provides a hard-wearing surface for year-round playability." Discusses size and drainage considerations. Also discusses tee foundations, stating that "the base of the tee must be adequately consolidated, shaped and trimmed to reflect the final surface slope." Mentions turf establishment, stating that "appropriate establishment of the tee can make or break the finished product. Seeding is the preferred method if time permits, but if this is not practical, turfing is the only option. Grass species composition is related to intensity of play and degree of damage expected, size of tee and management issues." |
