during this study indicates that the topdressing and cultivation treatments utilized did not give complete control of thatch ac-cumulation. Thus, mechanical re-moval may be required from time to time.

Observations concerning the oc-currence of dry spots as well as water penetration ratings indicate that topdressing, cultivation and liming result in less problems with water penetration. These were the same treatments which resulted in the least amount of thatch accum-ulation. In addition, cultivation and topdressing improved soil aeration. The degree of improve-ment in soil aeration was by far the greatest from the topdressing treatment.

Over the 10 year period the highest quality turf resulted from the topdressing treatment. Al-though cultivation reduced the rate of thatch accumulation, it did not produce a corresponding increase in turfgrass quality sim-ilar to topdressing. The cultivation treatments resulted in a certain degree of turfgrass injury which offset the benefits of thatch con-trol. The highest quality turf was produced from the treatment in-volving the combination of liming, extra nitrogen and topdressing. Although liming and extra nitro-gen did not result in a higher turfgrass quality when used alone, there was an increase in turfgrass quality when used in combination with topdressing.

Under the conditions of this test, the wetting agent did not produce any definite improvement in turfgrass quality. The wetting agent did give some improvement in water penetration through dry spots but was only temporary and did not provide a long term solu-tion to the problem. The extra nitrogen treatment resulted in a decrease in dollar spot while the topdressing treatment increased the incidence of dollar spot. The annual bluegrass composition of the bentgrass turf appeared less on the topdressed turf. In general, good overall turfgrass quality was associated with a low organic matter content at the surface and a good moisture relations. •

WHATEVER THE JOB...

Put a charge in your

golf car operation

B y D o n W i l s o n P r e s i d e n t , Lester E q u i p m e n t , Los A n g e l e s , Ca l i f .

O p t i m u m results in the operation of battery powered golf car rental fleets are achieved only through a balanced blend of proper golf car facilities, good personnel main-' taining the golf cars and good maintenance.

FACILITIES While it is realized that many

golf courses already have a heavy investment in existing facilities which cannot be modified immed-iately, it should prove helpful to outline optimum facilities for those that can be improved, and for any new construction. Proxim-ity of golf car storage and main-tenance area in relation to the first tee or pro shop and nature of the facilities are of almost equal importance. Proximity as-sumes much greater importance than suspected when considered in terms of most productive use of key personnel time. In many courses, the distance between the two points is so great that key golf car personnel spend an in-ordinate amount of their time making up mule trains to tow the cars to the rental point, breaking down the train, and returning to the storage area to repeat the procedure. As a result, the golf car personnel have too little time for vital preventative maintenance of the cars and proper battery care. Many golf courses put em-phasis on getting the cars up to the rental point regardless, and too little importance is placed on maintenance.

For year-round operation, in climates which experience a wide range of nighttime temperature

extremes, an enclosed car storage area is a good investment. Loca-tion of this storage area under-neath the pro shop has become extremely popular in the past three years because, subject to terrain limitations, it offers econ-omy of both available space and construction costs. As a by-prod-uct, this arrangement provides warmer climate for the cars in the winter and cooler temperatures in the hot weather. However, the layout of car storage, charger mounting and installation of elec-trical outlets for the chargers should be considered carefully within these following guidelines:

1. For the long daylight hours of late spring and early sum-mer, the parking of cars should permit "last-in, last-out" operation without the maneuvering of a large per-centage of cars. Access to exit doors in this storage area is naturally a very critical factor.

2. Chargers should be prefer-ably mounted above the cars on shelves or hung from hooks in such a manner that the golf car man has easy ac-cess to the charger controls and charger ammeter visibil-ity without climbing all over the cars or ascending a step ladder. In such an arrange-ment, it should be possible to gain access to all the battery terminals while the batteries are still on charge, even with Surry tops.

3. For flexibility in permitting increase of the fleet or temp-orary additional leased cars

for tournament purposes, the optimum electrical installa-tion employs ducted AC bus-s e s r o u t e d s t r a t e g i c a l l y throughout the car storage a r e a . A d d i t i o n a l c i r c u i t breakers with outlet recep-tacles for charger plugs can be inserted readily in such ducted busses when addition-al outlets are required. In el-ectrical system design, allow for 15 amps minimum per out-let and circuit breakers of not less than 15 amps per single charger outlet.

4. In one section of the storage area, allow for a work area with air compressor, work bench, drive-up ramp for work to be performed under-neath cars, water outlet for hose attachment and good drainage facilities.

5. Provide good cross-ventila-tion in the car storage area in such a way that it can be reduced in cold weather.

PERSONNEL As in every well-run business

operation, personnel is one of the most important factors of success. Most country clubs and golf courses have overlooked the importance of this factor to an amazing extent. Too frequently, the golf car attendent is assigned the additional duty of gathering up balls on the driving range. When such a person is paid too little, he is often found playing "bag-boy" for the tips he can garner. The tendency to assign golf car maintenance responsi-bility to the junior or apprentice

pro has merit only as part of his training.

The fallacy of these past and present practices becomes read-ily apparent when a financial ana-lysis is made of the capital in-vestment and the income poten-tial from an optimized operation. Such analysis should take into consideration refunded rental fees resulting from enroute failures on the course, cost of preventable or reducible parts and battery re-placement, and potential lawsuits that might arise from possible a c c i d e n t s a t t r ibutab le to poor maintenance. The most progres-sive country clubs have confirm-ed the wisdom of hiring a good key man, paying him well, and ac-cording him a position of stature.

At least one manufacturer of golf cars holds maintenance clin-ics in strategically located cities throughout the United States and also operates at its plant a one week detailed training course for those who can arrange to attend. A club with more than 50 cars could easily justify the transporta-tion and daily living expenses of their key golf car man for part-icipation in such a training course. MAINTENANCE

As a generalization, the bat-teries are probably the most mis-treated parts of the electric golf car. This may be due to the fact that previous exposure of most people to lead-acid batteries is limited to their automotive ex-perience.

However, the design and manu-facture of batteries for golf car use is different from automotive types to provide good life under the more severe operating require-ments in repeated deep discharge cycling. As a result of this more severe duty cycle, proper battery care is of critical importance. At a recent session of the American Golf Car Manufacturers Associa-tion Techical Advisory Commit-tee, battery manufacturers report-ed that a large percentage of the

short battery life cases were due to excessively deep discharge of n e w b a t t e r i e s and i n s u f f i c i e n t charge during the long daylight hour days of the year.

This report of the battery manu-facturers emphasizes the import-ance of charging new batteries and older batteries which have not been used for a month or so be-fore they are sent out on the course and limiting the use of new batteries to 18 holes be-tween charges for the first five cycles. It also lends credence to the recommendation for a car storage area layout which permits last- in, last-out o p e r a t i o n and points up the importance of rotat-ing cars in use.

In proper care of golf car batter-ies it is exceedingly important that batteries be checked for water level every week and water added as necessary after they have been charged rather than when they are in a discharged state. The one exception to this rule applies only when electrolyte level is below the plate separators. In that case, water should be added to cover the separators and watering com-pleted after they are fully charged. Overfilling cells causes loss of acid, not just water, decreasing the specific gravity and thereby reducing available battery power very markedly. When batteries are brand new they appear to need additional water very infre-quently, but don't be misled by this initial experience. After they get cycled-in and start aging, w a t e r r e q u i r e m e n t i n c r e a s e s steadily throughout their remain-ing useful life.

Some fleet operators have been guessing the number of hours for timer setting according to the number of holes the car went instead of following the instruc-tions furnished with the charger. In many such cases this has been a cause of shortened battery life. With the newer types of chargers which compensate automatically for AC supply voltage, the init-ial charge rate into lightly dis-charged batteries is relatively low and this charge rate tapers more rapidly than with deeply discharg-ed batteries. However, the spe-ific gravity of the electrolyte rises

more slowly under the charge pat-tern and hence the full charge time is necessary for a full charge with equalization of cells. When all 18 cells of a 36 volt golf car show equal and normal finish charge voltage, overcharging at the low finish rate is preferable to undercharging.

The ampere-hours of power that batteries can deliver and receive from the charger varies directly with the electrolyte temperature. Hence, in periods of cool or cold nights, the cars should not be sent out for as many holes as they go in warm weather. In addition, the cars should be put on charge as soon as they come off of the last rental while the electrolyte is warm and they should be given a 4-6 hour equalization charge once a week.

Batteries and their hold-down devices should be kept clean and dry at all times. Be sure that the charger is " o f f " whenever inserting or removing the charger plug in or from the car. It is g o o d p r a c t i c e to turn every charger on when first opening the car storage area in the morn-ing to ascertain which cars taper down below five amps within 15 minutes. The ammeter should jump up to a high reading in-itially tapering steadily to a point below five amps. Those that do behave thusly have been fully charged and should be good for 36 holes. Those that don't taper down should be given additional charge until they do taper down to below three amps without the batteries getting exceedingly hot. The number of cycles (dis-charge-charge) available from a set of batteries varies inversely with the depth of discharge be-tween charges'. Thus, if cars are run 45 or 54 holes between charg-es, a reduced number of cycles life can be expected versus 36 holes between charges.

Lastly, in field experience it has b e e n noted that b a t t e r y powered golf cars are being used more intensively than previously. In a more intensive operation a lesser number of months of bat-tery life should be expected, but the net income of a fleet oper-ation should be higher. •
