| Abstract/Contents: | Details how golf courses are gradually "trading in bentgrass in favor of one of the new Bermudagrass ultradwarfs." Profiles Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi, stating that "the decision to convert the greens was hastened...August [2005] when damage from Hurricane Katrina delayed the [Professional Golfers' Association] PGA Tour's Southern Farm Bureau Classic." Suggests that "the drawback to growing bentgrass in Jackson is that [one has] to do [the] cultural practices right during the nicest time of the year to play golf." States that "Champion and the other ultradwarfs can abe prone to thatch problems, so they must be managed differently than older varieties of Bermuda." Suggests the use of fertilizers "because if the turf gets too thick it can become puffy, and then scalping becomes a possibility." Also suggests "verticutting, frequent light topdressing and rolling." |
