Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the primary factors influencing the resiliency of golf turfgrass and suggests that "well-drained soil with little thatch will provide a firm putting surface." Discusses possible thatch management techniques and states that "managing organic matter and firmness on fairways is a challenge." Concludes that "while sand topdressing might appear excessive, the benefits are real, and so are the costs." |
