| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a collection of mistakes and challenges faced by Green Section agronomists and golf course superintendents. Highlights traveling arrangements, various aspects of Turf Advisory Service visits and maintenance planning, professionalism, and the development of agronomic plans. Recalls that "several memorable moments for our [Green Section] staff through the years include attempting to diagnose the cause of a dark line on a putting green (no more than a shadow from an overhead power line) and recommending major bunker redesigns or fairway contour realignment that would destroy a course's architecture - unbeknownst to us at the time because we had not done our homework on course history and the original architect." Encourages continued education and professional development, noting the potential value of perception and communication. |
