| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses synthetic turf, stating that it "has come to be seen by many not as a substitute to natural grass, but as a necessary tool in the sports field manager's arsenal to provide the public with quality playing surfaces." Discusses potential pitfalls of synthetic turf, suggesting that "when considering a system for his/her municipality, school or sports complex, one of the main dangers looming over [a] sports turf manager is to discount the technical nature of this technology and focus solely on price as a factor to consider." Discusses product quality and installation of synthetic turf. |
