| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses possible sustainability issues in sports turf operations in New Zealand. Defines sustainability as "optimising [optimizing] the playing quality of the golf course in harmony with the conservation of its natural environment under economically sound and socially responsible management." Also discusses economic stability. Notes that "sustainability also relates to the landscape on which the golf course is situated. Golf course operations will not be sustainable if they have negative 'off course' effects." |
