| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the process by which Mark Ballagh went from lawn maintenance to greenkeeper at the Yallourn Bowling Club in Newborough, Australia. Stresses the importance of healthy turf over bowlers' needs, and recounts an incident in which Ballagh gave precedence to the latter. States that "he didn't put enough water on wanting to optimise [optimize] speed...The greens became unplayable running at 20 seconds." Suggests that "it [is] better to water thoroughly, and the problem...would have been less severe had the greens been irrigated to field capacity three days earlier." |
