Abstract/Contents:Describes using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for mapping drainage systems. Descibes radar equipment and how it works and its use in creating drainage system maps. States that "use of GPR for mapping drainage tile in golf greens can be effective. Superintendents can use this technology to accurately and precisely identify drainage tile and other sub-surface features (e.g., areas of compaction or wetness) in a golf green. The application of GPR technology to golf greens is still in the early stages, but it already shows great promise in the trouble shooting and management of golf green drainage systems. Having the ability to study the subsurface features of a golf green without digging a hole will minimize the cost of finding and fixing subsurface drainage problems."
