| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course turf preparation for the US (United States) Open, stating that "agronomic preparation for the US Open takes detailed planning and years of hard work." Explains that "putting smoothness and speed are crucial for championship golf, and green speed at the US Open changes from year to year based on differences from one course to another." Indicates the potential difficulty in establishing firm green conditions, adding that "cultivation, top dressing, and drainage problems are identified years in advance in preparation for firm and fast conditions." Details the preparation process for the US Open, mentioning that "course conditions should remain relatively consistent for the length of the championship." Concludes that "agronomic preparations are perhaps the most influential aspect of the US Open. Years of preparation and hard work can pay off greatly." |
