| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance for golf course superintendents to make decisions based on both agronomic and economic concerns. States that sustainable management practices, such as transitioning to a native grass can both create better playing conditions and save clubs money. Advises that before any changes to a maintenance program are made, the club members should be be informed of the plan. Explains the potential importance of good drainage for the growth of turfgrass. States that the superintendent of Lymm Golf Course in Cheshire, United Kingdom, aims to aerate turfgrass as deep and as often as possible. Notes that maintaining this course using this and other sustainable methods reduced operating costs and allowed the course to be prepared for economic downturn. |
