Sand Survey

January 2, 1995

A proposed method of measurement has been developed that allows comparison of different sands that may help us understand root zone performance. The measurement utilizes a mathematical model to yield a straight line that describes the particle size distribution. The model reported below may have value in the future to help determine how a green needs to be managed and when a green has outlived its usefulness and should be rebuilt. At this point, I am only speculating about the…
