Keywords:Irrigation water; pH; Case studies; Water quality; Water testing; Acidity; Localized dry spots
Abstract:Discusses the process of lowering the pH of irrigation water as a potential method of improving irrigation and turfgrass nutrition. Recommends regular testing of irrigation water in order to be aware of pH or other potential water quality problems. Suggests that "turfgrass prefers a soil pH [close] to 6.5." Also suggests that "maintaining optimum pH is especially helpful in dealing with localized dry spots." States that "water pH is just one part of a total management system that involves soil testing to determine the nutrients [the] turf needs and water testing to determine the effect the water is having on nutrient availability and thus [the] turf."

Title:Quenching golf's thirst: As more golf courses are built and existing ones expand, water availability, quality and use issues loom ever larger on the industry's horizon

Abstract:"Many of the states where golf course development is booming and water issues are broiling are also states where population is gaining...what that also means, though, is that those areas feel the pinch even more on their water systems. More people mean more money coming into an area, but they also mean more people washing, flushing, and needing clean drinking water. Those same areas also tend to be places where the sun sucks the water right off the turf, forcing golf courses to use more water... these trends, which seem to be converging upon each other, may change our thinking in the near future." Discusses various statistics which demonstrate the greater use of water, which is proportional to population densities. Discusses the far-reaching implications of this growth and development spurt and discusses possible ways to resolve this problem.

Abstract:"A group of leading golf and environmental organizations have jointly developed a set of principles which seek to produce environmental excellence in golf course planning and siting, design, construction, maintenance and facility operations. These principles are envisioned as a tool of universal value, for national use under variety of circumstances...to provide a framework for environmental responsibility in developing goals for existing courses and for considering issues associated with new courses. They are designed to educate and inform the public and relevant decision makers about environmental responsibility, and to help set goals for environmental performance...they are not intended for use in making judgments about socio-economic issues. These prinicples assume regulatory compliance and are designed to provide opportunities to go beyond that which is required by law. These principles were developed through a collaborative research and dialogue process, and represent a consensus of all endorsing organizations. They represent areas of agreement but do not resolve all environmental issues related to golf."

Abstract:"Golf courses and the environment. No issue will have a greater effect on the way golf courses are built and maintained, now or in the future. Golf courses have been heralded as sanctuaries and condemned as waste sites, depending on your point of view. What's the truth? The game of golf needed answers to environmental questions, and the USGA wanted these answers based on scientific facts, not emotions. In 1991 the USGA initiated a three-year study to investigate the fate of pesticides and fertilizers applied to turf under golf course conditions, develop alternative (non-chemical) methods of pest control, and determine the impact of golf courses on people and wildlife. This issue of the Green Section Record contains the results of the 11 university research projects that involved pesticide and nutrient fate. The first article, by Dr. Michael Kenna, briefly describes what is known about the fate of chemicals used on golf courses and provides some supporting documentation to help golf course personnel select a pesticide. Highlights of the research projects are summarized in his article, but the research articles themselves should be read to learn more about the particulars of each project."

Abstract:Discusses land use and legislation concerning golf course construction in Oregon and South Carolina. Many conservation laws were passed in Oregon in the 1970's, severely limiting areas that are available for golf course construction. In South Carolina, the issue is wetlands. In order to start construction on a golf course, a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers is required. Developers say that this issue has become a political one, started by environmentalists.
