| Question: | "Recently we found that one-third of our fairways were sweet while the others were found slightly sour, and we were advised to use three or four tons of limestone per acre. Our fairways are not in a bad condition but the turf could be a little thicker for perfect fairways. What is your opinion concerning the use of limestone?" |

| Answer/Response: | "We certainly would not advise you to apply lime as a topdressing on your golf course. In some cases a limited amount of lime worked into the soil before seeding seems to be advantageous, but as a topdressing we seldom recommend its use. It has a tendency to encourage clover, which is quite objectionable on most golf courses, and ordinarily stimulates the desirable turf grasses only slightly if at all. It would be much better for you to invest your money in some fertilizer that is relatively high in nitrogen, such as cottonseed meal, Milorganite, and ammonium sulfate. We have seen some very excellent results in improving turf on fairways from the use of such fertilizers." |
