| Question: | "In 1990, our greens were completely rebuilt to USGA guidelines and have performed satisfactorily. However, the base Tifdwarf bermudagrass contains a high percentage of "off-type" surface contamination, and it has become progressively more difficult to provide consistent and acceptable playing conditions and aesthetic character. We are in the initial planning stage of renovating the greens and converting to an ultradwarf bermudagrass cultivar. Our obvious questions is whether or not resurfacing is a viable option, or is total reconstruction necessary?" |

| Answer/Response: | "With proper construction and subsequent management, USGA greens can easily have an effective life expectancy of 25 to 30 years or longer. Thus, resurfacing is a viable option. Review the article "Rebuild or Resurface" (by Bud White, USGA Green Section Record, January/February 2006, 44(1):1-6). It is available on the Turfgrass Information File at: http://turf.lib.msu.edu/2000s/2006/060101.pdf." |
