Abstract/Contents:Lists potential methods "to maintain attractive, desirable and safe sports fields...in the face of overwhelming in-season and out-of-season use," including "control the field schedule and avoid overuse"; "develop a list of maintenance standards"; "document when the work is done, and by whom, to adhere to these standards"; "use fertilizer and control agents as necessary to keep the turf healthy after aeration"; and "use proper mowing practices." Highlights frequency-of-clip, stating that it "is the rate at which the reel/blades in a mower rotate to cut the grass." Suggests that "if the operator slows down while running the machine, the number of clips per inches actually increases, which results...in a smoother finish and faster green."
