Building a Putting Green

Assignment

Research the USGA Green Section’s specifications for putting green construction — specifically the ‘USGA Recommendations for a Method of Putting Green Construction’ document, available free from the USGA website. Write a 400-word technical summary explaining: what problem the specification solves, what its key structural requirements are (root zone depth, drainage layer, percolation rate), and why a standardized specification matters for the sport globally.
