| Question: | "The putting greens at our course were built in accordance with USGA recommendations about 15 years ago. The Tifdwarf bermudagrass base turf cover has now become heavily contaminated with off-types, and providing a consistent play and aesthetic character has become a major challenge. Renovation and converting to an ultradwarf bermuda are planned for this summer, but the question is, do we need to completely rebuild the greens?" |

| Answer/Response: | "With proper construction and subsequent good management, USGA greens can perform satisfactorily for 25 to 30 years or much longer. Thus, it should be possible to conduct a strip-and-till regrassing process to address the turfgrass problems and convert to a new cultivar. It is recommended to submit two to four profile core samples to a physical soil testing laboratory for complete analysis. Along with making sure that no major structural problems exist, analysis of the rootzone mix is needed to determine the proper materials to add back and incorporate prior to replanting of the greens." |
