A comparison of these data with the USGA specifications (Table 1) provides a good explanation of why the greens have performed so well.
Except for Griffith, all the greens are either within or slightly above the recommended range. The Griffith Greens, the most recently reconstructed, were not yet open for play at the time of the inspection; there the high infiltration rate will decrease with time as the turf becomes established and play begins. The other greens all exhibit physical properties that are very favorable for turf growth and play. Finally, this analysis indicates that the field and laboratory data correspond quite well and that the sand and perlite greens will continue to maintain a good physical condition with time and heavy traffic. |
