| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews what practices should be implemented to add value to a golf course without breaking the budget; uses the Overlake Golf and Country Club as an example. Lists a number of problem areas the club was undergoing and explains ways it was able to overcome them. Discusses the "maintenance down the middle" procedure to help conserve costs, and about a lightweight mower developed to tackle rough areas without leaving tire ruts. Explores the process of seed priming and the potential benefits it presents by using it on practice tees. Describes the Purple Tees and the initiative "Tee it Forward" that encourage individuals to tee off at distances in line with their golfing experience. Highlights their work with a local private school, St. Thomas School, to further educate students about nature and the importance of environmental conservation. Explains how they use goats to clear out an overgrown patch as a cheap and green alternative. |
