| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential challenges to maintaining the Country Club of Buffalo, New York, designed by Donald Ross in 1928. Briefly profiles the course, stating that it was designed as "an inland, links-style golf course on the Onondaga Escarpment, the extensive limestone shelf responsible for Niagra Falls." Highlights a renovation effort in 1997. Notes that "maintaining Donald Ross greens has been a challenge for [course superintendent Jim] Frank. Built as push-up greens, they never had any soil amendments." States that "because of the high percentage of Poa annua on the greens, Frank tries to control Poa seedheads each spring." Also states that "as part of his greens management program, Frank aerates two to three times each year, using solid tines in the spring and hollow tines in early September." |
