| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses green and tee management practices used at Oakville Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. States that "there are 55 acres, 9 greens with double tees, and a few putting green [greens] built in June 1978. There are 1¼ acres of greens, manual irrigation system, fair to good drainage on greens." Explains that "the greens are cut with Jacobsen 22" [inch] Walk Behind Mower, hieght [height] of cut ¼" in Spring and dropped to 3/16th". The greens are cut 7 days a week, once the growing season starts." Suggests that "pin positions are very important, they are changed daily (some twice) to prevent compaction as much as possible." Mentions vandalism at the course. Details the fertilizer application schedule, stating that "512-6 lbs. [pounds] of N [nitrogen]/1000 over the season, very little disease problem although one application of FF2 (Quintozene) was applied late December, for Snow Mold. Early Spring Starter 20-26-6 is applied. May, June, August a product 31-5-3 was applied. September - 30-3-10." |
