| Abstract/Contents: | "This progress report represents a summary of the ongoing research activities for the first nine months of a project entitled "Quantification and Validation of the Beneficial Contributions of Golf Course Turfgrasses." The objectives of this project were to 1) conduct a detailed assessment of the literature to obtain and validate scientifically based sources of information supporting the benefits of turfgrasses to our environment via golf courses and 2) conclude with a manuscript that will be submitted to a major, peer-reviewed, scientific journal as a seminal article on the environmental benefits of golf courses. Also, there would be the opportunity to publish a TAES bulletin or report which could be in press sooner than the scientific paper. Considerable time and effort has been spent toward achieving our objectives since fall 1990. Over 282 papers have been collected, organized, and assessed (many are not useful for our needs) and over 84 personal inquiries have been made for specific information. These numbers will be increased substantially before our objectives are achieved. A tentative outline for a position paper to be submitted to Science was completed in June 1991. Currently we are writing a preliminary draft which should be completed in early 1992. A final draft of the manuscript will be sent to the USGA Green Section Research office on or before May 1, 1992. This has been a rewarding and enlightening project because there is a need for it and because our perspective has evolved concerning the environmental issues challenging the golf course industries. This position paper and other USGA projects are needed first steps. However, we probably agree that the lasting solution will be achieved from the golf course industry and environmental groups working together to achieve common goals and objectives." |
