| Abstract/Contents: | Two main systems that control the irrigation of the golf course, central irrigation steering systems (Zentrale Beregnungssteurung), the satellite system and the decoder system are discussed, evaluated and compared. The computerized decoder system, needing only one cable, is not only easy to expand upon, but costs far less to install and maintain. Both systems though offer features vital to the irrigation of the modern golfcourse, such as being able to carry out multiple irrigation programs, to repeat daily programs, to cycle and soak specific areas of the golfcourse, the ability to have a dry run function (Trokenlauffunktion) that can detect system problems before water enters the system, and an optimalization of water flow through precise hydraulics. All of these features, although some expensive to install, maximize use of water and time, effectively saving large sums in a water budget. |
