| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "the metamorphosis...from greenkeeper to highly specialized consultant or some other allied profession" as a trend that may be emerging in some parts of the world. Focuses on the progress of TurfNet member Garry Smith's career in the industry, and his shift from golf course to racetrack turf-care. States that "the differences in caring for turf between the two industries begin with height of cut." Describes the World Youth Day event, for which Smith covered 28 acres of turf with temporary plastic flooring, and Smith's later opening of an irrigation company. |
