By Sharon LillyAn outstanding source for anyone responsible
for landscape design or management
on a golf course, this book provides a
wealth of information for preserving
existing trees and choosing, planting, and
caring for new trees. With a foreword from
Bob Lohmann, past president of the
American Society of Golf Course Architects,
some of the key points of the text include
benefits and value of trees on golf courses;
tree care versus turf care; the inclusion of
trees in initial golf course design and
construction; planting and transplanting;
plant health care; tree maintenance; and
liability issues. Additional pointers for
training an “in-house” tree maintenance
crew or hiring a qualified, professional tree
care company are also offered. (©1999,
