| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles SeaDwarf, a seashore paspalum cultivar. Describes seashore paspalum as a "warm-season perennial grass known for its adaptability to diverse chemical and physical soil properties...[and] most widely known for its tolerance to brackish water." Discusses the use of SeaDwarf "at Crown Colony Golf & Country Club in Fort Meyers, [Florida]," detailing the grow-in process. Also discusses the maintenance procedures, stating that "following the initial grow-in and course opening, [employees] worked diligently to mature the greens and remove the surface undulations that were still present. This involved frequent verticutting, topdressing and rolling." Concludes that "Seashore paspalum has allowed [Crown Colony Golf & Country Club] to have greens with a very visible and attractive striping effect year-round." |
