Abstract/Contents:"For more than 40 years the USGA recommendations for green construction have been the most widely used method of green construction throughout the United States and in other parts of the world. When built and maintained properly, USGA greens have provided consistently good results for golf courses over a period of many years. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and updated as a result of scientific research and as new techniques and materials are proven reliable. The remainder of this document specifically represents the USGA Green Section's recommendations for green construction. This document does not attempt to discuss various construction techniques or methods. Additional documents are available from the USGA that depict construction methods, offering tips for success and providing guidance for green management."

Abstract
(Thanks to DTRF)
"Hieronder volgen de voor 2004 herziene USGA aanbevelingen voor de aanleg van greens. Sinds meer dan 40 jaar zijn de aanbevelingen van de USGA in de USA en daarbuiten de meest gebruikte basis geweest voor de aanleg van golfgreens. Indien goed aangelegd en onderhouden geven USGA greens goede resultaten gedurende langere tijd. Onze richtlijnen worden regelmatig gescreend en aangepast aan de hand van wetenschappelijk onderzoek en van betrouwbaar gebleken nieuwe technieken en materialen. In dit document treft u de nieuwste aanbevelingen van de USGA aan. Aanvullende informatie over constructiemethoden, tips en ondersteunende beheersmaatregelen wordt tevens door de USGA verstrekt."
