Abstract/Contents:Suggests that water use efficiency and protecting water resources is challenge for the golf industry. Advises that superintendents can better manage water resources by understanding the drought tolerance mechanisms turfgrasses have to offer. Compares the potential benefits of using velvet bentgrass to creeping bentgrass. Discusses fine fescues fairways which are promoted as drought tolerant and good for fairway use, but lack sufficient wear tolerance which limits their sustainability in North America. Notes that the golf industry in North America obsesses over consistency which negatively impacts the sustainability of the game. Includes advice on "the best way to manage turfgrasses for sustainability" and on making decisions regarding drought tolerance varieties.
