| Abstract/Contents: | Explains the purpose of the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) golf green assessments, noting that their "aims are to identify the key factors that influence green performance and to pinpoint the elements of the maintenance programme that need to be adjusted to achieve 'optimal' playing qualities." Details the process of the assessment, noting that they "measure the surface playing qualities (firmness, smoothness/tureness and pace) as well as the underlying condition of the greens (organic matter, soil moisture content and soil chemical analysis)." Details STRI's investigation concerning the "reducing level of organic matter in the upper soil profile." Reports that they "have found that committed STRI Programme clients have made real progress in just three years by working towards our targets and following the STRI Programme process." |
