| Answer/Response: | "The amount of water required by turf depends largely on soil and weather conditions. The ordinary practice on putting greens is to water as often as necessary to keep the soil moist. Usually in dry weather it is necessary to water every day to keep bent in the best condition. Three-day or four-day intervals apparently are too long for most soils. Many defects of a golf course are caused, or at least greatly exaggerated, by excessive watering. There is a decided difference between moist soil favorable to plant growth and the water-soaked condition one frequently finds on greens. The best way to determine whether a green is getting the right amount of water is to cut into the turf occasionally to see whether the soil is soaked or dried out. Your attention is invited to the July, 1928, number of the Bulletin, in which the subject of watering is fully discussed." |
