Abstract/Contents:Discusses summer 2004 in the United States Golf Association (USGA) North Central Region. States that "for some superintendents, it has been a quiet peaceful season, with little, if any, heat stress to turf...On the other hand, this summer has been very difficult if [a superintendent] happened to be lucky enough to have experienced significant winterkill on the course. Injury to turf from ice and desiccation has been extremely slow to heal over...It should come as no surprise that recover was slowest in sites where concentrated cart traffic causes wear and compaction to the turf." Mentions disease incidence, stating that "dollar spot has gone quite wild at many courses this summer...A fair amount of take-all patch was observed at a number of courses during June." Concludes that "despite these concerns, the summer has been exceptionally kind to turfgrass at most courses."
