Question:"Is it harmful to apply water to greens during the day on days when the sun is very hot?"
Answer/Response:"No, water could be applied to putting green turf at any time of the day. More important than the time of day is the amount of water that is applied at any one time. During the hot summer season of 1955 it was common practice to water the greens lightly (syringe) several times each day to prevent wilt. Many superintendents water in the early morning and thereafter during the day as needed. This is a good policy as morning watering washes the dew off the grasses, thus drying the grasses faster, and nullifying the nutrient medium (dew) on which fungi can feed. The primary danger is to apply too much water during hot sunny days, thus scalding the turf."
