Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of implementing golf course infrastructure such as subsurface drainage systems in order to avoid disease and insect infestation susceptibility. Suggests that "drainage infrastructure upgrades are generally a quarter to half the cost of an irrigation system replacement and will generally last almost twice as long as irrigation pipe." Briefly profiles the XGD (eXisting Greens Drainage) System, "a subsurface piped, gravity flow drainage system installed in to the subsoil." Concludes that "subsurface drainage will play a great role in preserving the long term agronomic success of your finest playing surfaces for the long run." |
