PGA Using Tarps For Golf Course Protection.



In recent years The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass has gone to great lengths to protect the greens. Extensive studies, including GPS computer models, have been conducted to see if shade factors such as trees effect the golf courses overall health is a positive or negative way. Although trees were shown to have little effect on the health and growth of grass on the course, factors such as extreme cold we shown to damage parts of the course.

The golf course is now using black tarps, which are scientifically engineered to allow moisture through the fabric. The golf course officials have found positive results by using the tarps during times that temperatures dip below 38 degrees. The fabric protects the grass but also absorbs and retains heat that is beneficial to the grass.
