Abstract/Contents:Cites success of superintendents with various new and improved bentgrasses. Ken Mangum describes experiences that the new A and G bentgrasses as "the finest textured and highest density, but are more susceptible to brown patch". States "Crenshaw Bentgrass has been the most consistent." Explains Bryan Hensley's experience with SR 1020 and poor natural air flow to fungicides. Details Peter VanLindens use of Southshore. States that it "has shown very good head and drought tolerance as well as good wear tolerance." Update from Todd Barrett about Barrington Hall bentgrass and green changes. First, Barrett chose not to spray Roundup after seeding because of 2 inch rainfall. Second, they maintained dormant bermuda grass to prevent the green surface from becoming too thin. Ralph Kepple suggests that with two seasons of Crenshaw bentgrass they observed "if you are growing new Crenshaw greens be prepared to begin aerifications the first season, and do not skip spring or fall aerifications." States the grass appears healthier in the summer months and has "exceptional leaf texture, an aggressive root system, good drought tolerance and good summer color". In contrast, some negative aspects include "rapid development of thatch, purplish winter color, and a questionable tolerance to herbicides that have been routinely used on Penncross".
