Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the 43rd Annual Golf Turf Symposium, highlighting keynote speaker Tom Crawford. States that he "discussed the water problems in the west states like in Texas and Arizona where large populations are making water a valuable commodity." Highlights various speakers at the symposium, including Dr. Clark Throssell, Dr. Doug Soldat, Dr. Clint Waltz, Carol Colein, James Held, Pete Wood, Brian Zimmerman, and United States Golf Association Green Section (USGA) agronomist, Bob Vavrek. Details the discussions led by each speaker and its potential relevance to water usage and conservation. Notes that "there are many factors reducing water use besides saving water. The National Golf Course Owners Association is starting to embrace the cost savings having the playing surfaces a little less green can bring while many architects are trying to provide for drier and less lush turf to allow for more ball roll and more options in course design." Concludes that this symposium "was a great opportunity for superintendents to delve into a very important subject for a day and a half." |
