1. Apparatus for spraying atomized water in order to cool golf green turf grass and reduce heat stress and death thereof, said apparatus comprising:
- a chute having a circular intake attachable to a blower and an exhaust having a generally rectangular perimeter with sides contouring from the circular intake to the exhaust perimeter in order to provide a generally rectangular exhaust air flow;
linear arrays of water nozzles disposed on opposing sides of the exhaust perimeter for projecting water in a planar direction aligned with the a side of the rectangular exhaust air flow;
a water supply; and
a pump interconnect said water supply with the nozzle.

Abstract
Apparatus for spraying atomized water for cooling golf green turf grass generally includes a chute having a circular intake attachable to a blower and exhaust having a generally rectangular perimeter with a sides contouring from the circular intake to the exhaust perimeter in order to provide a generally rectangular exhaust air flow. Vertically oriented linear arrays of water nozzle disposed on opposing sides of the exhaust perimeter are provided for limiting side way diffusion of the air exhaust from the chute. The nozzles are interconnected with a water supply through a pump.
