I agree. I hate walking into a green to fix my pitch mark and there being a bunch of marks that the previous people didn't fix. I'll usually fix any marks I see. Takes 5 secs
Outstanding information! I am just short of certain the masses to understand the undertaking to establishing and maintaining the greens on a golf course.
Perforated "Big O" should never be used without a drain sock if you want it to work for more than a few years. Otherwise you will inevitably have granular material seeping into the weeping tile and all it takes is a one single blockage to render the entire system inoperable.
I have been in the golf business for 40 years we own and operate a public golf course, people have no idea what is involved in the care and maintenance of a golf course. I start at 4 in the morning take a 2 to 3 hour lunch and work till 6 or 7 o'clock at night during the busy season. Making money in the business gets tougher and tougher every year and the future for blue collar clubs and pubic facilities is dismal.
Fascinating. And somehow is reminiscent of the 8 & 16 mm "educational" films, but mine were in B&W in my grade school and high school years, the 50's & 60's. Zzzzz. What would be the cost of constructing a 30' x 40' green today? Just curious.
