Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the grow-in of seashore paspalum at Old Collier Golf Club in Naples, FL. Describes the problems which were encountered, including saline irrigation water, a record drought during the winter grow-in period, phase two watering restrictions, record cold tempeartures during the winter, reduced light quality and quantity, restricted use of pesticides, late completion of grassing, and bermudagrass contamination. Describes the key players, the salt challenge, the cultivars, greens density, pest issues, water issues, and other challenges. States that "the Old Collier Golf Club is a living example of how an effective systems approach can be environmentally compatible even with multiple challenges. The system encompasses the grass, soil chemical/physical/biological aspects, irrigation water, groundwater, surrounding wetlands, wildlife, and site-specific management." States that "with the right resources, staff, soil profile, equipment, and management program in place, seashore paspalum is capable of providing championship-level playing surfaces, even with numerous environmental and man-made challenges and with use of non-potable, highly saline water resources." |
