Abstract/Contents:Overviews golf course maintenance at Vale Do Lobo Golf Club in Algarve, Portugal. Mentions that the greens were mowed three times a week and the fairways once a week. States that "at one time the irrigation system was functioning all round the clock and we were carrying out regular surface aeration to facilitate the penetration and percolation of the applied water. Naturally this proved rather much for some of our young grass and together with fractional knowledge of such things, as height of cut, fertilising and disease treatment in these conditions, we lost some areas of the course especially the grasses festuca and agrostis." Adds that after excessive rainfall, the second nine holes that had recently been seeded were "washed down and across the fairways and some green banks just disintegrated."
