| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a study conducted at Glendale Golf and Country Club in Alberta, Canada which frequently suffers winter injury due to desiccation, low temperatures, and ice cover on their annual bluegrass putting greens. Explains that the study aims to "develop a cover system that would prevent winter injury and to develop a system to monitor temperature and gas concentrations under this cover system." Details the materials and methods used in the study, including the installation of ventilation tubes and monitoring equipment. Reports that "topdressing with sand for a number of years altered the physical analysis and produced a green that met USGA [United States Golf Association] specs when sampled to a 7.5cm [centimeters]." Concludes that the study "showed that gas concentration fluctuations are cumulative and would be more of a concern toward the end of winter than at the beginning." |
