| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Peter Laverne, detailing his retirement from the turf industry after 34 years of service. Details Laverne's career growth, stating that "he started his career working for a company that sold indoor sprinklers to homeowners and businesses." Discusses changes that took place in the industry during Laverne's career, noting that superintendents may be under a greater amount of stress now than they were 30 years ago. Addresses the developments in irrigation technology as well, explaining that "'there wasn't anywhere near the sophistication and accuracy there is today with the solid-state satellites and the computerized central systems.'" Emphasizes the positive relationships Laverne held with golf superintendents, as well as his fellow colleagues. |
