| Turf Managers managing Lawn Bowling Greens are faced with more
difficulties than any other discipline of turf management. Generally
speaking the conditions are the toughest in that Lawn Bowling Greens
are maintained under challenging conditions where heavy compaction,
excessive wear are required to be dealt with, while having the restrictions
of a tight budget. In comparison to many other sports turf playing
surfaces, Lawn Bowling Greens are very small and are constantly
under pressure from over usage, moisture stress, low cutting heights,
shade, lack of air flow, along with a high requirement for green
speed, eventually all of the above can lead to the greens showing
signs of wear and becoming unsightly. The task of producing quality
playing surfaces under these constraints requires the knowledge
of the Lawn Bowling Green Turf Managers to be at an optimum, however,
unfortunately Turf Managers managing Bowling Greens are not always
remunerated well to match the knowledge base required to deal with
the challenges involved. |
