| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of turf fans, suggesting that "putting greens can be greatly improved with the use of fans because of the cooling effect on the turf canopy, soil temperature, and increased root development." Details the use of fans in the Northeast region of the United States, and mentions the use of hand-held wind meters for evaluating air movement on a golf green. States that "if the fan is farther than 20 feet from the green surface, it's not likely to benefit the entire putting green." Includes a case study conducted at Redding Country Club in Redding, Connecticut, focusing on the improvement of a golf green by utilizing fans. Concludes that "[the] air movement has greatly increased and so has the turf quality." |
