Abstract/Contents:Describes the conversion from Penncross to Suttons at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. Details preparations for the replacement program, inlcuding "establishing nursery turf for the outer edge"; "preparing temporary greens"; "construction of a 19th hole to enable replacement of par 3's (where there was no room for a temporary)"; and "surveying of all greens - a 1 metre [meter] grid obtained to enable original levels to be retained." Mentions challenges involved in the project. Concludes that "the program was finalised [finalized] by the end of 2002. Practice areas and additional nursery areas are likely to be completed in 2003...All completed greens are performing well with root systems being well in excess of 150mm [millimeters]."
