Abstract/Contents:Contrasts the pest and snow mold problems of Highland view Golf Course in Butte, Montana, to those of Riverside Country Club in Bozeman, Montana. Stresses that Pete Yerkich, superintendent of Highland Golf Course, has few if any pest problems during the winter, but frost "freezes about four-to-five feet underground", causing many snow mold problems. He also attributes snow mold problems to wet fall weather conditions. Mentions the fertilizers and fungicides used to prepare the turf for winter conditions.
