| Abstract/Contents: | Details the process of regrassing at The Sanctuary Golf Club on Sanibel Island, Florida. States that "high salts, high sodium, heavy soil, low elevation, and contaminated bermudagrass surfaces" influenced the decison to regrass the course. Describes the renovation process, stating that "the first step in The Sanctuary's renovation was regrassing only the practice facility in summer 2004. Bermudagrass eradication is nearly impossible, and [the superintendent] embarked on an aggressive chemical program, similar to what had been done at other regrassing projects." Also states that "the golf course was closed May 1, 2005, and sprayed twice with Roundup and Fusilade II at 21-day intervals. The dead grass was stripped and buried, and each hole was tilled and fumigated with methyl bromide." Concludes that "The Sanctuary Golf Club reopened in November 2005 to rave golfer reviews. The vibrant green playing conditions that seashore paspalum provides are a far cry from the drab, patchy bermudagrass that once existed. Also, mower striping occurs with each mowing, and the increased shoot density significantly improves ball lie. The likelihood of complaints is always a possiblity with any major renovation, but only positive remarks have been voiced since the reopening of The Sanctuary." |
