| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Cowdray Park in the United Kingdom (UK), "the Home of British Polo." Also profiles manager Julian Russell-Hayes and describes his maintenance and repair strategies to keep the grounds safe and consistent for polo players. States that "about 600 tonnes [tons] of coarse sand is applied to each of the 11 pitches every year - half in April and the other half in July. This helps pitch drainage and also improved the footing." Also mentions herbicides used to control clover. |
