| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Grafton District Golf Club in New South Wales, Australia, and interviews its superintendent John Nelson. Details Nelson's education, qualifications, and career history, noting that he has been employed at Grafton since 1981. Explains that the course has a bushland setting, and is often visited by wild kangaroos which requires some unique management strategies. Notes that "it is a difficult site to grow grass with poor native soils and low average rainfall," and that the club has had a major reconstruction project planned for the last 20 years but has been continuously forestalled due to budget restrictions and zoning policies. Mentions that the club "received a water grant in 2007 that enabled us to install some infrastructure to help with water harvesting and reduce our use of potable water." Provides a list of Nelson's maintenance equipment and mentions his preference for Primo Maxx plant growth regulator. |
