Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of proper drainage on athletic fields. Endorses construction of fields using Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT) to reap the following benefits: "excellent drainage, resistance to soil compaction, and a nearly level playing field". Recognizes budgetary limitations and advises on how managers of native grass fields can achieve better drainage. Covers topics related to drainage such as soil, sand, crowns, and drain tiles. |
