| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the implementation of naturalized areas on golf courses, stating the the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) "reported that, on average, 23 percent of total acreage on golf courses is naturalized, while golf courses working with Audubon International have an average of 47 percent of their total acreage in naturalized habitats." Details maintenance techniques for naturalized areas and suggests that "the challenge facing most golf courses is creating a balanced maintenance plan that satisfies the golfers and the neighbors, while remaining affordable and sustainable." Concludes that "naturalized areas are not maintenance free, but with proper planning and a realistic management approach, they can be a valuable golf course asset that just may put more money in the bank." |
