| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the possible effects of over-watering golf greens. States that "just because an abundant supply of water has been provided it does not hold good that it can be used indiscriminately at any time or anyhow." Mentions pearlwort (Sagina procumbeus) infestation, stating that "if this weed once gets in a green, in a short time it will master the grass and kill it out entirely, and the lavish application of water will most assuredly be a help to this end." Also states that "another thing which helps to kill the grass when excessively watered, is the use of too heavy a roller when the surface is wet. The roller packs the soil very hard and closes the air spaces, and as a result no air can get through to the roots and the grass dies." |
