| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, focusing on the construction and tournament preparations of the two courses, Earth and Fire. Details the local environment, stating that "the arid climate applied an enormous strain on irrigation systems required to match evapotranspiration rates." Notes that the courses required 5 million gallons of water per day during construction, which was mainly used for sand stabilization. Summarizes the construction of the courses, mentioning the use of bermudagrass due to extreme summer temperatures. Discusses the involvement of 35 countries in the project, concluding that "communication was by far the greatest challenge." |
