| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes a study done on California and USGA putting greens, measuring drainage relative to the slope of the green, root zone permeability, and profile design. The slopes used in the study were 0%, 2% and 4%. Includes graphs of soil moisture vs. zone depth vs. distance upslope for 0% and 4% slopes, as well as a discussion of results. |

From USGA Green Section Record, July/August 1999, Vol 37 No. 6, pg. 19 "Since the main purpose of the experiment was to assess the impact of layering and slope in the hydrology of the different construction methods, identical root zone mixes were used in both profiles. However, since the California method utilizes unamended sand rather than a mixture of sand and organic matter, as is typical of the USGA method, the experiment did not provide a completely accurate representation of the California method. Although this does not diminish the value of the results of the research conducted, it is important to note that the experiment does not provide a true comparison between the California and USGA green construction methods." |
