| Abstract/Contents: | "Ultradwarf bermudagrasses on golf greens produce a dense canopy that traps some of the sand particles used in topdressing. Larger sand grains appear to be more resistant to falling or being worked through the canopy. Sand trapped in the canopy produces a less desirable playing surface and can be picked up by and damage mowers. The aims of this project are to evaluate relationships between performance, topdressing sands, and physical characteristics of high and low-performing putting greens on a subset of golf courses in Texas originally constructed to USGA specifications. Measured parameters include determination of particle size distribution of root zone and topdressing sands, quantifying retention vs. removal of topdressing sands during mowing events, surface firmness, percent surface organic matter, and infiltration rates. Apparent total porosity and apparent capillary porosity of the putting greens also were measured. Results indicate that particle size distribution of sands in the surface of these putting greens is trending toward the finer side of the USGA recommendations. This is occurring from either use of a finer topdressing sands or due to removal of coarser sand fractions with mowing following topdressing events. Differences in volumetric water content at field capacity have also been noted among golf courses, with those possessing finer particles at the surface showing higher water contents and better performing greens than those with a greater fraction of coarse particles." |
