Abstract/Contents:Discusses shade problems that result from improper distance between trees and turf. Mentions that "planting trees too close to a putting green can result, years later, in levels of shade that hinder turfgrass growth, particularly ultradwarf bermudagrasses." Summarizes some basics of plant physiology, important terms that are used during site assessment, and practical tips for proactively addressing shade. States that "shade from trees surrounding a putting green vary throughout the year due to the changing angle of the sun. The quantity of light for plant growth not only changes based upon shade, but on the time of day." Adds that measuring light levels at different locations on a given putting green is necessary due to the variation of shade levels.

Abstract
(Thanks to DTRF)
"In the Southeast Region, most golf courses have identified and corrected shade problems through trial and error. This could be called 'after the fact' or 'reactive' shade management. The recent trend in the Southeast to replace creeping bentgrass on putting greens with an ultradwarf bermudagrass does not lend itself to an 'after the fact' or 'reactive' shade management program because ultradwarfs do not tolerate shade well."
