Abstract/Contents:Addresses the problem with the quality of water that the South Lakes Golf Club is facing. Tells how Steve Walsh became superintendent, and gives a history of the wetlands the golf course was built on. Also points out where the course is in relation to the River Murray and the Southern Ocean. Stresses that the salt water from the river used to irrigate the course wasn't helping the course's appearance due to the salt-water table just below the ground. Details how Walsh has been attacking the problem by planting more salt-tolerant grasses and using trees to attack and lower the water table.
