| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential ways to water greens efficiently, emphasizing the possible necessity of a "good water supply, preferably completely independent from the public or town supply. This means the sinking of a bore and installing a pump capable of delivering enough water to irrigate one green in a reasonably short time." Explains that "using perforated aluminium [aluminum] pipes which are placed in lines for the length of the green" may be "the most efficient [irrigation] system." Reports that "on sand greens, the soil is very, very difficult to rewet once it dries out," recommending the application of a wetting agent. Suggests that "the ideal moisture level will be when the soil is evenly damp down to 3"-4" [inches] (7-10cm [centimeters]) a few hours after watering." |
