Abstract/Contents:Debates the advantages and disadvantages of a warm and dry winter. Mentions that warm weather will promote business on golf courses. Explains that although more players is a positive occurrence for the course, it will be worn out because of all the players and golf carts. Mentions "despite the favorable weather for golf, it is not warm enough for grass plants to grow." Suggests way to decrease wear on the course, like "using ropes, stakes, signs, and any other traffic control device is a good idea to spread traffic out near greens and tees." Discusses the trouble of putting green traffic and potential ways superintendents can minimize wear. Concludes with " warmer weather brings golfers out of hibernation and out on to the fairways. There is no single right answer to managing traffic in winter. Do what makes sense at your golf course."
