Abstract/Contents: | Describes winter damage encountered by superintendent Rob Officer at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. States that "most of the damage was caused due to desiccation and low temperatures, with localized spots of ice damage" and describes the steps taken by Officer to treat the damage. Explains that Officer bought custom made covers and then began pregerminating Pencross Bentgrass seed. States that the "biggest problem was that [they] had no water in [their] shop...as the lines [were] blown out for the winter." Describes how the seeds were pulled out of the water every 12 hours. Reports that Officer would not use the method for pregerminating again. Concludes that the superintendent should "remain visible and in contact with the members" while treating damage. |
