| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses possible methods of preventing grain patterns in ultradwarf golf greens. States that "in turf, grain, also called swirl, can be defined as the mostly undesirable horizontal laying of grass blades in one direction, usually caused by repeated mowing in the same direction, which tends to deflect a rolling ball from a true course." Explains that "unlike the vertical growth with previous cultivars, the ultradwarfs tend to grow more decumbent (horizontal) leading to...an unusual occurence of grain." Suggests rotating daily mowing directions, topdressing lightly but frequently, aerification, grooming, and brushing to prevent grain patterns. States that "once grain has become excessive, the only means...of correcting this without replanting is by deep, aggressive vertical mowing." |
