Abstract/Contents:Discusses a fairway drag used at Rolling Hills Country Club, McMurray, PA, to remove dew accumulation. Describes how a the drag was built "using materials such as PVC pipe, nylon rope, 1" irrigation hose, various nuts/bolts, and duct tape." Explains the benefits to using a drag, how often it is used, and how long it takes. States that "dragging fairway turf can be an aid to presenting an agronomically strong and aesthetically pleasing product. Preparing fairway turf doesn't have to be a drag, so don't rule out the option to use one."
