| Abstract/Contents: | In 1988, a drainage system was installed on the New Course at St. Andrews. The drainage system caused the 14th and 16th greens to become over-dry, and "[the greens] showed signs of severe stress due to a combination of heavy use and moisture stress." They were treated with a new Japanese soil treatment, Isolite, that aerates the soil and improves its water retention. "The unique properties of Isolite make it suitable in a wide range of situations on golf courses with tees, greens, and high traffic areas being the most likely areas. In addition, courses on heavier soils than at St. Andrews would benefit from its drainage improvement properties." |
