The Impact of Golf Courses on Stream Water Temperature

Golf courses are an increasingly prominent feature across the urban landscape. Most courses contain streams that pass through the course grounds and have the potential to chemically, biologically, and physically alter these streams and their aquatic ecosystems. This study assessed the impact of five golf courses in Greenville, South Carolina on stream water temperature. Courses were selected th...

Fairway Grasses for Midwest Golf Courses

Kentucky bluegrass can produce quality fairways in the Midwest if it is not mowed too short. Keep track of research. Climates vary widely across the Midwest, complicating the choice of fairway turf grass species. New epidemics of gray leaf spot have weakened the popularity of perennial ryegrass, long a preferred fairway species in many parts of the Midwest. Cultivars are available that accentua...

The inside story on metal buildings for golf courses

How can savings in construction of your new maintenance building be realized when today's building and construction costs are at all-time highs? Metal building systems offer certain economies, from getting the building up and ready to use sooner to reduced maintenance for years after the building is complete. One big way "systems buildings" can cut costs is by speeding design, bill of materials...

Microbiological quality of reclaimed water used for golf courses' irrigation.

Microbial quality of reclaimed water used for irrigation in two golf courses located in the southern Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was evaluated. Bacterial indicators for faecal pollution (total and faecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and enterococci) were tested by membrane filtration using appropriate selective media. In addition, somatic E. coli bacteriophages, enteric viruses (enter...
