| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential need for a turf nursery, stating that "turf can be lost from a green overnight. Portions of greens, especially those containing Poa annua, can be lost from wilting in a matter of hours." Suggests that "a superintendent, in fairness to the members of the golf club and for his own protection, should establish a turf nursery, if only for repairs." States that "when a reconstruction project of greens or tees is anticipated, it is usually less expensive to establish [one's] own nursery than to buy sod from a commercial source." Also suggests that "along with a turf nursery, a superintendent should have a power sodcutter. This machine is a must in obtaining both quantity and quality in sodding." Concludes that "without a nursery, a superintendent is greatly handicapped in testing new materials and grasses. He may be forced to take unnecessary chances on the golf course." |
