An eclectic list of references

When I was preparing this book, I read a selection of 40 articles from the マイカの時間 series that I write for ゴルフ場セミナー magazine in Japan. That’s 49,015 words in English about greenkeeping, water, soil, temperature, light, organic matter, playing conditions, and fertilizer.

Then I put together this reference list for articles and books that I had mentioned in those 40 articles. It’s an eclectic list, and you might like to have a look at these. Perhaps you’ll turn up an article that you would like to read sometime.

More details and the full list are in this document.
