| Question: | "Is there any danger of shortening the life of turf by subjecting it to the continual close clipping and topdressing recommended for keeping creeping bent turf in true putting green condition?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Ohio |

| Answer/Response: | "The plots of Washington and Metropolitan bent turf at the Arlington Turf Garden that are now in their eight year have been cut very close practically every weekday and topdressed about once a month during the growing season through their duration to date, and they are apparently as good now as the one-, two-, and three-year old turf. Close clipping is necessary to keep any kind of turf in good putting green condition, and the frequent topdressing with proper material, if properly applied, will in no way impair the durability of any turf but will be found very helpful, both for keeping the grass vigorous and healthy, and for keeping the surface of the green true." |
