| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course pond management, suggesting that "not only do superintendents need to be up to speed on a variety of horticultural innovations, they also need a holistic understanding of water and how water bodies play a larger and larger role in the overall golf course experience and golf course economics." Explains that "the ponds, lakes and streams within a course are more pivotal than ever. They help determine aesthetics, feed into the overall botanical health of a golf course and have a growing impact on the financial health of a course." Highlights possible algae and sludge problems in golf course water areas, stating that "if algae growth and sludge buildup go unchecked, irrigation filters can get clogged, pumping efficiency can plummet, and that great irrigation source is suddenly a liability, not to mention an eyesore." Suggests to "focus on preventive health for a clarified, clean water body." Concludes that "if a body of water is attractive and inviting, it holds revenue potential. If that same water can irrigate turf directly in a healthy and sustainable fashion, it can conserve valuable water - and valuable cash, as well." |
