Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the fact that not only do trees have an aesthetic value, they also can be utilized on the golf course. "Aside from their decorative purposes: (1) As individual specimens to provide shade and comfort for tees and greens, (2) As small forests or plantations to regulate rainwater run-off and to conserve groundwater, (3) As wind breaks to control erosive effects of winds and to temper extremes of heat and cold and (4) As storage reservoirs for leaves, twigs and grass cuttings as a future source of ever needed compost." |
