Abstract/Contents:"Soil amendments, better fungicides, state-of-the-art irrigation systems, and sand-based greens are tools to promote healthy and consistent turf growth; they are not a license to overwater. Green color can be maintained through careful fertilization and well-timed cultural practices, without excessive irrigation. The result will be a much more durable turf than one that gets its color primarily from water. For the good of the game, it is time we tolerated a few dry spots and put playing quality above green color."
