| Abstract/Contents: | "A smooth and dense cover of grass is absolutely essential for the provision of fast and true putting surfaces on golf greens. Experience has shown that the most desirable grass species to provide this ideal surface are the fine-leaved bent and fescue grasses. To achieve perfection, only these species should be present within the golf green and all other plants can be classed as undesirable weeds. Thus, the familiar broad-leaved plants, such as daisy and clover, are clearly weeds, but the coarser-leaved grasses such as perennial ryegrass and Yorkshire fog must also be classed as undesirable weeds. Similarly, annual meadow-grass (AMG) is also a weed in the context of golf greens, although its presence is very widespread in greens, especially where soils are not free-draining and/or where wear from play is high." |
