Highlights maintenance issues, including "prevention of compaction"; "thatch control"; and "establishment of desirable, drought resistant grass species." Presents case studies conducted on "improvements via maintenance alone" and "installation and correct use of irrigation system." Concludes that "correct assessment of the problems/requirements of any one course is essential in the initial planning/feasibility stage." |
