Abstract/Contents: | Describes the testing of several grasses "to identify native or nonnative grasses suitable for unmowed roughs." Results indicate that "blue grama alone, or blue grama amended with purple love grass and/or buffalograss can be tentatively recommended for playable unmowed roughs at Midwestern golf courses...the height and densities of these plantings will allow golfers to find and play errant shots, and the appearance of the unmowed warm-season grasses will contrast successfully with managed cool-season turf on in-play areas." |
