| Abstract/Contents: | Details when Augusta National putting surfaces "were changed from warm-season bermudagrass to cool-season creeping bentgrass" in 1981. Explains that "it was possible to make the switch at the time thanks to advances in the breeding of creeping bentgrass, which produced varieties more tolerant of heat stress." Reports that "according to a survey of GCSAA [Golf Course Superintendents Association of America] golf course superintendents, 61 percent believe that even if [2006] varieties of bermudagrass had been available back in 1981, Augusta National still would have made the conversion." |
