Abstract/Contents: | "Divots created by a golf stroke are a regular occurrence on golf course fairways and tees. Divot resistance describes how often a divot is made as well as the size of the divot and is an important factor that should be considered when selecting a species or cultivar for use on golf course fairways or tees. There are no reports comparing the divot resistance of bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to quantify the divot resistance for various bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars in a field experiment. In the summer of 2009, divot resistance was evaluated on two collection dates on five cultivars of bermudagrass and seven cultivars of zoysiagrass. Cavalier, Diamond, and Zorro zoysiagrass had the highest divot resistance; while those with the lowest divot resistance were Patriot, Princess 77, and Riviera bermudagrass. These results demonstrate that differences exist among bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars for divot resistance, and will allow golf course superintendents to better select cultivars and species that will improve playing conditions while decreasing inputs." |
