| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses ultradwarf bermudagrass in the southeastern United States. States that "there are several catalysts that led courses to consider and select ultradwarf bermudagrasses for their putting greens," including "improved wear tolerance eliminates the need to overseed"; "ability to peak the entire golf course at the same time"; "management focus is shifted from multiple months of life support with bentgrass to a focus on playability"; and "fewer dollars spent compared to bentgrass for most courses." Describes potential "pitfalls to avoid" when working with ultradwarf bermudagrass, including overseeding; shade; extremes in nitrogen fertilization; poor quailty water; and mechanical injury. Also describes key ultradwarf bermudagrass practices, including frequent watering; mowing practices; surface management; and organic matter dilution. Concludes that "managing ultradwarf bermudagrass in the transition zone requires a solid understanding of turfgrass management fundamentals, but it also requires the artistry of a craftsman." |
