| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the automatic irrigation system that is in use at Sunningdale Golf Club, "which was handed over by a British firm of irrigation equipment specialists...[it] will save labour [labor], maintain turf on greens and tees in good condition in the driest weather, avoid inconvenience to players, and economise [economize] in the use of water." Discusses the installation process and notes that the "practice of laying water mains in a golf course by mole plough resulted in faster completion with little or no disturbance to players." Describes the extraction of water from the mains supply as well as the pumping of water to "each of 36 'stations', each composed of one green and the nearest tee." Explains that "as much as one inch of water can be applied in one week and amounts of water to be applied to each green and tee can be individually controlled." |
