Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course budgets, stating that "based on clients, innovative and creative superintendents have found a host of ways to change their practices, improve playing conditions, and still meet budget restrictions. Aerification is but one of those ways." Suggests that "one shortcut on greens that actually improves that quality of the profile, as well as save money, is to re-incorporate sand based cores." Suggests that "an alternative method of compaction relief is slicer aerification. This is a method of compaction, but can be accomplished with no real disruption to the player's experience or revenue system." States that "slicing type aerifiers can be used year-round to maintain cart path ends and traffic areas." |
