| Abstract/Contents: | Describes how superintendent Stewart Bennett of Alden Pines Country Club on Pine Island, Florida, became an expert on seashore paspalum turfgrass. Explains that most varieties of seashore paspalum have a high salinity tolerance, meaning brackish water can be used to irrigate. Discusses Mark Aitken's apprenticeship under Bennett to learn how to manage seashore paspalum. Concludes that "now that [Bennett] has his first consulting gig under his belt - at a high-end, ultraprivate course, no less - Bennett hopes others will follow so he can tout more than one client." |
