The constructor is the beginning of the process of proper installation. Since the requirements of building a green are easily found, the constructor can use the plans more efficiently. Superintendent of Springfield Golf Club in Fort Mill, SC, Noel Buchanan, believes, in the business world, time is money, but that is not always the case when dealing with a golf course. With the exact measurement and directions, the process is easy to follow. In the past, constructors had to use native soils. Many of the older,

Due to outrageously priced chemicals and the call for perfection by golfers, it is very difficult to be a golf course investor. Beginning with construction, the cost of proper installation can add to an extreme amount. Greens cost more than thirty-five thousand dollars to construct, and can even be more if long distance shipping for your materials is necessary (Buchanan, 2002). The importance of having exact materials can become very expensive. The most important aspect of building greens can be the testing of your materials. John Royals, from CPCC said, "Testing your materials is the most important aspect of achieving the exact specifications, and the sterile needs of the ingredients composed in the green." During every day maintenance, the green will be the most expensive to maintain. Greens need to be mowed six times a week. To maximize shoot density and stolen growth, turf needs to be mowed almost every day (Royals, 2002). Top dressing, vertical mowing, and chemical spraying are just three more maintenance practices that will need to be followed during the life of the green. Even though these practices are not needed every day, they are three of the most expensive practices involved in maintaining putting greens (Buchanan, 2002). With more than fifty-thousand rounds played per year on most golf courses, this job will only become more difficult as the years pass.

Once the construction is complete, a proper green will benefit the greens keeper or superintendent. With all of the USGA's specifications met, a green that drains efficiently with the proper soil spacing needed to maintain the turf, will not get as many diseases or dry out improperly (Buchana
