| Abstract/Contents: | "In response to historic drought and subsequent regulatory action, golf courses in the Las Vegas area have converted over 38 million square feet of grass to water efficient landscaping in areas generally not impacting the playability of the course. The authors present how a method developed by Mr. Jim Moore of the USGA and adapted by the Southern Nevada Water Authority is helping courses to identify further areas that may be considered for conversion by tracking volunteer golfers on courses with inexpensive GPS recorders. The technique provides for far more sophisticated analyses and helps to evolve conversations from one of simple water-centric landscape conversion considerations to discussions of truly optimizing courses' design from a paradigm of functionalism with consideration of numerous inputs. The presentation will provide additional information about the method and annotated aerial imagery demonstrating its application." |
