| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses drainage of golf course greens. Mentions the role of air movement in drainage, stating that "a green should be so located that air will flow freely over its surface...Greens with poor air drainage are highly susceptible to disease such as brownpatch. With regard to water drainage, it may be said that in general any low pocketed areas existing on the course should be contoured with a sloping surface such that water will not pond, but will drain clear of playing areas." Suggests that "greens may be drained in several ways: by surface contouring, by tilling, by a combination of the two, and by percolation thru [through] the sub-soil." Also suggests that "perfect turf cannot exist without perfect drainage." Mentions that "aerifying equipment is excellent - tools for getting air, water or fertilizer into the soil. But [superintendents] can't always use them to advantage during excessivly wet weather or during tournaments, but with good drainage underneath and their use [superintendents] would be more than half safe." Emphasizes that "good drainage of soils is indispensible to healthy growth of grass and all crops." |
