| Abstract/Contents: | Provides a letter written by golf course superintendent Colin Geddes to the editor of British Golf Greenkeepers regarding C.A. Moore's "appeal for information about the problems caused by 'pop-up sprinklers.'" Discusses the potential advantages that Geddes observed with his automatic pop-up sprinklers, including "time saved against manual watering." Overviews the system's watering sequence at Moor Allerton Golf Club. Explains that since "each green was fitted to the designers requirements with 360° (full circle) pop-ups," steep greenside bunkers were affected. Adds that another worry "was wind blowing the water spray off the greens." |
