Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential difficulties faced by golf course superintendents during the summer of 2010 due to high temperatures, decreased root growth, and disease appearance. Overviews the opinion of Dr. Jim Kerns regarding pythium, including his suggestions for preventative control and irrigation rates. Includes golf course consultant Tom Mead's presentation on sustainability, defining the term as "exploiting the natural resources without destroying an area." Suggests that members of the golf course community should "promote a low input turf program...work with nature and not try to dominate it." Presents Dr. Bruce Branham's plan to control Poa annua, indicating that "the goal is to keep the Poa annua so weak, it peters out slowly and the bent dominates and grows laterally over the weaker Poa plants." Summarizes another presentation by Dr. Braham regarding nitrogen fertility, recommending to "return clippings to the canopy and recycle the leaves when the Poa is not seeding" in order to obtain better nitrogen efficiency. Highlights Jerry William's presentation on "rules infraction by players, by superintendents" and Tim Moritz and Doug Bauer's presentation on "creating sustainable outdoor environments." |
