Abstract/Contents: | Provides recommendations on summer golf course maintenance during the height of play from three superintendents, noting that "'the key is getting out of winter.'" Advises rolling as opposed to lowering the mowing height, pruning to expose turf to sun and provide air circulation, and cultural management to maintain green speed. Highlights humidity, water use, and take-all patch as potential challenges during the season. Briefly details the superintendent's courses, noting a renovation project at The Toronto Golf Club for which "part of the mandate was to return it to more of a heathland-style golf course. It's got to be firm and fast for it to play like one." |
