| Abstract/Contents: | States that "any time a significant change is made in a turf playing surface or additional stress is placed on the grass, there are consequences and costs." Suggests that "when looking to make any agronomic improvement, all costs must be considered, including the advantages provided with a given practice." Mentions that "every golf course is looking for the Holy Grail: Improvement without cost. Do not get sucked in." |
