Abstract/Contents:Discusses ownership issues that arise when turfgrass scientists develop cultivars for large-scale production from samples taken from a golf course. Profiles the case of researcher Dr. Ronny Duncan, who was sued by Stewart Bennett, owner of Alden Pines Country Club, FL, for the royalties to a cultivar discoverd on his course. Sidebar profiles the Old Collier Golf Club in Naples, Fl. which "is one of the few courses in the U.S. entirely planted with Paspalum vaginatum," a species of turfgrass with extreme drought tolerance.
