| Abstract/Contents: | Provides an overview of the maintenance required "because there is no separation between the roughs of the golf course and the home lawns running parallel down both sides of every hole." Profiles bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) as "the dominant turfgrass species used throughout the warm climatic regions of the United States." Concludes that "along with having desirable play characteristics, the very good wear, drought, heat, and salt tolerance of bermudagrass makes it one of the best adapted turfgrasses for roughs in warm climatic regions." |
