| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the renovation of Noosa Heads Bowls Club in Queensland, Australia. States that the club spent "about $3 million upgrading its clubhouse and facilities to a standard certainly in keeping with its long-held reputation as the 'Toorak of the north.'" Discusses the maintenance system involved in a club of "year-round play in a climate with hot, wet summers." States that "in summer the basic NPK [nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium] ratio is higher in nitrogen compared with the levels of phosphorus and potassium," and that "in winter this is reversed because a high potassium level is needed to harden the grass." Focuses on Tift Dwarf turf, which "can run rampant in a warm, humid climate, so mowing is needed every day in summer and every second or third day in winter, when more rolling is done." Describes the insects that feed on the turf, including "lawn grubs, army worms, mealy bugs, mole crickets, and earthworms" and notes that "pesticide spraying is kept to a minimum and mostly on a response-only basis, both for environmental reasons and to avoid increasing chemical tolerance in the pests." |
