Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that golf courses in North America may begin to focus more on playability than lush conditions. States that "firm and fast [playing conditions] simply means firm, fast, and green with some brown around the edges, rather than lush, wet conditions." Discusses the irrigation regimes that may best produce "firm and fast" conditions. |
