Abstract/Contents:Discusses the recent increase in the presence of silvery thread moss on putting greens in the United States. Attributes the rise of silvery thread moss to golfers' constant desire for faster greens. States that "fast greens usually mean weak and vulnerable turf, which gives moss an opportunity to invade the turf greens." Provides information on identifying silvery thread moss. Reports the results of a North Carolina State University study evaluating the effects of light intensities on the growth of bentgrass and silvery thread moss. States that "the comparisons between the bentgrass and moss growth at the highest light level was proof that the shade-loving moss performs poorly compared to the bentgrass in growth."
