| Abstract/Contents: | The Green Section has for the past decade interested itself in construction methods and in a study of the physical problems of soils used in putting greens. It has been found that the problems of construction procedures and methods and those of physical behavior of soils cannot be separated. The findings of the Green Section sponsored research are such that a sufficient amount of information is now available to warrant the publication of a suggested method of construction. Addressed are subgrade; drainage; gravel and sand base; ringing the green; soil mixture; soil covering, placement, smoothing, and firming; and sterilization of soil and establishment of turf. |
