| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Links at Las Palomas, in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. States that "the natural fescue grasses that thrive in seaside climates in Britain and Ireland cannot tolerate extremes of temperature...A few courses, though, are starting to prove that warm climate links golf is not a contradiction in terms." Suggests that "the secret to...tropical links is...seashore paspalum...Paspalum's greatest virtue from the perspective of the course owner and greenkeeper is its ability to tolerate high levels of salt in irrigation water, making it a very desirable grass for courses where water is scarce and expensive." States that "at Las Palomas, [the architect team] faced a range of difficulties from the challenge of stabilising [stabilizing] the sand." Mentions that "the SeaDwarf paspalum used at Las Palomas is the most convincing warm climate facsimile of links turf yet seen." Profiles Las Palomas' various holes, including "hole eight, the last in the high dunes,...a tremendous par four from an elevated tee." Concludes that "one may be hesistant [hesitant] to dub [Las Palomas] a true links, but the evidence of the eyes is undeniable." |
