Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1) To examine changes in particle size distribution, hydraulic conductivity, and calcium carbonate chemistry in calcareous sands used for putting green construction. 2) To qualitatively examine mineralogical properties of calcareous sands with scanning electron microscopy, both prior to and following weathering. 3) To survey existing golf courses of varying ages for variations in physical and chemical attributes of the greens mix." The study is ongoing, and notes that "we have expanded our search and are currently collecting new samples and characterizing them."
