| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Fuego Maya 18-hole golf course at La Reunion Golf Resort and Residences, noting that it was designed by Pete Dye. Mentions that the surrounding area is characterized by "mountainous terrain, active volcanoes, and land overlooking the coastal plain towards the Pacific Ocean." Reports that "at an altitude of 3,500 feet above sea level, the temperature remains remarkably consistent year-round, with daily highs between 70-80° F [Fahrenheit] and nightly lows between 50-60° F." Details cultivars used on the course, and mentions that a recommendation "to use molasses to increase microbial activity in the soil has been extremely effective in reducing their thatch problem." States that the volcano next to the course produces ash several times per day that makes for "great topdressing." Profiles the course's managers, Greg Bozek and Edgar Marroquin, focusing on their professional histories. Concludes by discusses the whereabouts and activities of Douglas Maxwell since his retirement from university professorship in mid-2001. |
