Slope, exposure, soil composition (we have a high clay content in the area where I live), precipitation rate, all play a role in creating an irrigation schedule.
I guess we will agree to somewhat disagree as practices in turf care, watering and personal choice are constantly evolving. Might I ask, you obviously have an extensive background relating to turf care, where does it come from?

First, let me apologize for what may have come across as an aggresive, know-it-all post It's never my intention to flick jabs on message boards - again, my apologies.
The Hi-lited part of your post could not be truer, but herein lies the problem with answering a turf question/problem on a message board; Unless you have access to the
questionnaire’s property, then the question(s) can only be answered in the most general terms. My only assumption (And that very well might be wrong) was that Photon's turf is generally in good health. I know nothing of the considerations you mention in your post, as it relates to Photon's property. To answer his question in general terms is easy, but to give specific advice without seeing the property,... well, that would be tricky.
As for my background, Golf course superintendent for 9 yrs. Assistant for 3. Education from Fairveiw and Penn State U, Turgrass Management and Turfgrass sciences
Enjoy what should be a very busy summer for you.
p.s. Do you install as well as design? Any GC work?
