Abstract/Contents: | Discusses thatch control, stating that "thatch is best described as the dead and decaying plant material found within the upper surface of a green's profile." Provides potential thatch management methods. Advises that "it is more important that the main threat to achieving firm, fast playing quality - excessive thatch - is recognised [recognized], curative measures implemented, and the problem overcome than to continue on the same path with ongoing problems." |
