| Abstract/Contents: | "One of the most useful and perhaps most abused improvements on golf courses is the modern watering system. The judicious use of adequate water has made it possible to maintain turf in a luxuriant condition throughout most of the playing season whereas if dependent entirely on natural rainfall the turf on many golf courses would be dried out during much of the season. On the other hand one frequently finds at the height of the growing season large areas of dead or badly-weakened turf which can be traced directly or indirectly to the use of too much water, which in many cases has been applied by artificial means. In many cases the loss of turf is attributed to disease, when in reality the disease had probably only a secondary effect and developed to serious proportions only after the grass had been greatly weakened by excessive watering." |
