Integrated Water management on golf courses.
Dry patch is a major problem for golf courses.
This picture shows what is often happening. The surface and top few cm are wet, but below this the soil is hydrophobic and cannot hold any water - hence no roots and no ability to withstand hot dry periods. To answer these questions one needs to have monitoring equipment and systems to evaluate and implement their findings. This equipment can be inter-linked with the Weather Stations , which can calculate ET figures, calculate disease risk and built up historic weather records. It is possible to have this data displayed 'live' in the clubhouse as well.
