| Abstract/Contents: | Details course renovations that have been aimed at reducing costs, yet often result in actual savings that are minimal. Cites a California resort, with a large water budget, that reduced turf by 30% but ended up with nominal water cost savings as most of the turf was in less intensive irrigated areas. Discusses irrigation designers that are doubling traditional pump sizes which "often offsets the 25 percent increase in electrical efficiency." Suggests drainage improvements have solid payback for courses, noting the reduced revenues that come from inefficient rain drainage. |
