| Question: | "My Green Committee does not understand the impact of shade and overcast conditions on ultradwarf bermudagrass greens and the importance of the recommended eight hours of sunlight per day. We experience extended periods of overcast days, which can cause thinnning in our greens, but golfers do not relate overcast to shade. Help!" |

| Answer/Response: | "You are correct about the impact of overcast skies on bermudagrass. These conditions can simulate shade and are just as detrimental to ultradwarf bermudagrass greens. Fall and winter months can impose extended periods of cloudy skies and moisture in the South, which simulates the same conditions as shade exposure to greens and will reduce vigor and increase incidence of disease and algae. It is essential to educate your Green Committee about the consequences of shade and low light conditions on your ultradwarf greens." |
