| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potentially unique grass combination used on the Highlands Course at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Atlanta, Georgia in preparation for the 2011 PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Championship. Details the grass cultivars used and the setup of the course, indicating Diamond zoysiagrass fairways and tees, Tifton 10 bermudagrass roughs, and Champion ultradwarf bermudagrass putting greens. Predicts that "competitors at the 2011 PGA Championship are going to find incredibly smooth, firm, and fast surfaces," and adds that "one of the unshakable traits of a 'turf geek'...is to think about the turf on the course and what has gone into preparing it to test those who play it." |
