Abstract/Contents:Mentions the potential benefits of following USGA (United States Golf Association) recommendations for golf green construction, emphasizing that "following construction, soil saturation problems can arise that may or may not have anything to do with the construction process." Focuses on assessing golf green drainage, suggesting catch-cans and chemical tracker dye use. Addresses rootzone depth consistency, stating that "rootzone depth can increase slightly over time, due to organic matter accumulation and topdressing activities." Concludes that drainage testing should be conducted prior to golf green renovations.
