Abstract/Contents: | Discusses frozen conditions on golf courses, detailing the use of black organic (black sand) to facilitate melting on ice-covered greens. Notes that "timing was essential, as ice removed too soon would open turf to desiccation for the rest of the winter, and ice removed too late would cause turf to die from being under for too long." Reports that "it is very apparent that using a black organic, or possibly a black sand, had a profound effect in dispersing the ice from the greens during the specific climatic conditions we experienced." |
