Abstract/Contents: | Profiles TruFirm, stating that it is "a system [developed by the United States Golf Association (USGA)] that allows the golf course superintendent to measure and analyze the firmness of turf and bunker sands over the course of a tournament, the playing season, or many years." Describes how the system works, explaining that "data and GPS [global positioning system] information are stored and displayed on the handheld computer and are color coded according to...desired firmness levels. Easy-to-follow graphs allow [one] to review changes in firmness over time, at specific locations, or over the entire course, as well as hole-to-hole variation." Concludes that "the TruFirm System is available from the USGA at a cost of $8,700, plus tax where applicable...The purchase...also includes updates to the software and technical support for one year." |
