| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses technology in golf course maintenance, highlighting "sub-surface aeration and hydronics"; "vibratory greens rollers"; "soil sensors, installed"; "soil sensors, mobile"; "genetically engineered grasses"; "equipment powered by fuel cells"; "non-mechanical aeration"; and "irrigation control stations." Also highlights the laser mowing system, suggesting that "the most obvious obstacle to a laser greens mower is that lasers trim and shape things by burning them, and grass is predominantly made of water." |
