Free Video: Is “Attractive Traffic Control” an Oxymoron?

Not at Shady Canyon Golf Club

Shady Canyon Golf Club is gently carved into the scenic, rugged, unspoiled beauty of Irvine, California’s Shady Canyon. Its layout is dramatic. But the narrow entrance and exit areas of many of its fairways can invite wear and tear, presenting a clear traffic management challenge. Superintendent David Major, CGCS, has developed an efficient, effective and elegant solution to directing golf cart traffic. His approach is illustrated in PACE Turf’s new video: “Traffic Control at Shady Canyon Golf Club,” which is now available on YouTube.

“Premiere golfing conditions always require some level of traffic control,” said Dr. Larry Stowell, director of PACE Turf. “The challenge is to give golfers clear guidance while at the same time not interfering with the aesthetics of the golf course. David’s approach at Shady Canyon has been particularly successful, and he was happy to share it with the turf management community through this video.”

Like other PACE Turf videos, this one is practical, to the point, and contains information that can be put to immediate use. “Our videos have been one of PACE Turf’s most popular member benefits,” Dr. Stowell said. “We’re pleased we can share some of them with the turf management community free of charge.”
