| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the "'WOW' factor as it pertains to golf course conditioning." Explains that "the 'WOW' factor is a function of the mowing lines and patterns used to create striking contrast between various features of the course." Describes potential costs associated with this technique, including more labor hours. Concludes that "the although the forms of the courses and maintenance programs vary, the function of the course does not. The game is played the same, regardless of venue and its presentation." |
