| Abstract/Contents: | "Microclimates can vary significantly across a golf course, and directly influence turf irrigation requirements. The objective of this study was to quantify the extent of this variability in water demand, and evaluate the accuracy of weather station-generated evapotranspiration (ET) estimates for determining irrigation need for one Kansas golf course. Evaporation was measured using black Bellani plate atmometers placed on four golf tees and near the weather station at the Manhattan Country Club, Manhattan, Kans., in 1995 and 1996. Evaporation was measured on a total of 62 precipitation-free summer days in 1995 and 1996. Probably because the weather station was situated over nonirrigated turf, evaporation at the weather station was up to 22% higher than that at locations on tees. Evaporation varied by >20% among tees. Evaporation on a north-facing slope was 8% lower than that on a level surface or south-facing slope. Weather station-estimated empirical ET (Penman model) was consistently higher than ET estimated from atmometer evaporation, particularly when ET was >4 mm·day⁻¹. Superintendents should be aware of the potential variability in water demand across a golf course, and that weather-station ET estimates may differ from turf ET primarily because of microclimatic differences and potential inaccuracies in the empirical model employed by the weather station to estimate turf ET." |
