Abstract/Contents:"In choosing any turfgrass, or selection of grasses, one fundamental question remains paramount: Will the selection increase the golfer's enjoyment of his game? Secondary considerations are: (1) Is it adapted to this area? (2) What are its management requirements? (3) Is it an improvement over selections commonly used in the area? (4) Where should it be used? Answers to these questions can be obtained by experimental testing on the individual course, supplemented by basic information from the USGA Green Section. It is hoped that the following information will prove helpful in deciding which turfgrasses are worthy of use in the West." Includes discussion on Kentucky bluegrass, bentgrass, zoysiagrass, bermudagrass, red fescue, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass.
