Challenges

Undesirable
Shade
Shade from trees and structures can limit sunlight, leading to weak turf growth and poor playing conditions in affected areas.

Varying Evapotranspiration
Evapotranspiration (ET) rates differ across even a single green due to microclimatic conditions, making it challenging to irrigate effectively.

Fluctuating
Surface Temperature
Rapid temperature changes can cause turf stress, leading to discoloration, thinning, or damage if not addressed promptly.

Unpredictable
Weather Conditions
Sudden weather changes disrupt plans and require quick adjustments to maintain course conditions
