| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses conducting full-blown experiments on entire golf course holes, from tee to green, before the turf undergoes renovations. Describes one such experiment, Explaining that "these golf holes were still in play at the onset of these trials around the middle of March, and play continued through the end of June, when the bulldozers arrived." Describes the procedures involved in the experiment, including testing the bentgrass's response to various herbicides and rates, and performing drought tolerance tests. Explains that "throughout this process, we gained factual and pertinent information directly relative to our specific turfgrass and growing conditions. We were able to define treatment options and accurately determine limits of exposure to various materials at different application rates, and we gained valuable on-site information about the response that could be expected when turfgrass is pushed to the limit with regard to irrigation application." Suggests that "rather than focus just on the obvious renovation procedures, give some consideration to the potential information that can be learned through turfgrass trials prior to firing up the bulldozers." |
