| Abstract/Contents: | "During the past decade allegations concerning the adverse effects of golf courses on the quality of our environment have received headlines in nearly every country where golf is played. Unfortuntely, these allegations tend to be based on psuedo-scientific arguments that are not germane, but rather are focused to draw on the popular press to promote such allegations by preying on the ignorance of the general populace. Research is ongoing to identify these allegations that are invalid as well as those environmental concerns that can be supported by sound scientific data in order that appropirate adjustments can be made to eliminate or minimize any potential problems. Equally important is the need to recognize and quantify the beneficial contributions of turfgrasses when properly maintained as part of a positive golf course environment. This paper presents our current state of knowledge concerning the benefits of golf course turfs as documented by sound scientific data." |
