Abstract/Contents:States that "for the water system to provide top-grade turf it has to be matched with a suitable chemical program and with the proper mowing schedule." Describes how irrigation can be used to help improve turf quality. Stresses that "surface drainage, grading of traps, size of greens, etc. can usually be easily altered after the golf course has been built. The irrigation system, however, is buried and corrections are expensive." States that one of the major problems facing irrigation "is the attempt at placing the remote sensing devices in the sprinkler systems... the sensors has [have] been the necessity of digging them up in the fall as a freeze may cause them to break." Addresses several concerns including drainage problems, sprinkler heads and brown patch.
