Golf Course Expected Life Cycle

Interesting information regarding the life expectancy of various items on the golf course. This information was compliled by the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA). There are many factors that contribute to whether each item reaches the low or high end of the life expectancy. Here in Florida the heavy rainfall and year-round growth and therefore year-round play have a major factor in the life expectancy.
