| Abstract/Contents: | Provides recommendations for testing products or practices at a golf course. Presents a sample experiment, including the objective, materials and methods, observations, and discussion. Concludes that "the foundation of any testing program is record keeping...freely record any observations that you have regarding the performance of a product, the reaction of golfers to a management practice, or any difficulty you experience handling or applying a material. Excess information is better than insufficient information." |
