Correction appears in Australian Turfgrass Management Journal, 20(6) November/December 2018, p. 74: "I wish to clarify the background to Jim Beard's assessment and the science of his 'becoming enamoured' with a product called Netlon which was mentioned in the tribute to him ... The article referred to it being used on top of the ground at reseeding so that growers could get two crops in 18 months instead of one. This wide roll product called turf netting is still in widespread use but it should not be confused with the mesh element product with which we were deeply involved with commercialising for natural turf racetracks and sportsfields. The article refers to plastic mesh which in small pieces was being used for the reinforcing of free form concrete road surfaces."
