Abstract:
A survey was conducted in 2015 to gather information about winter injuries on golf greens in the Nordic countries. 314 golf course employees participated in the survey, providing valuable information about types and frequencies of winter injuries at the various locations, as well as information about strategies greenkeepers use to avoid or reduce winter injuries.
