| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the introduction of global positioning satellite (GPS) technology into golf course renovations, highlighting a renovation project at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. Explains that a nematode infestation on the course, combined with an Environmental Protection Agency ban on standard chemical controls, posed a challenge to the course to maintain its "historic layout" while rebuilding the green. Reports that the club contracted a firm to create a contour map of the course through the use of GPS technology. Details the challenges of the project, indicating that the course's tree cover made accurate geometric readings difficult to obtain. Concludes that the ability to transmit data quickly and freely "'cut probably weeks and months out of the construction process.'" |
