| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the use of TifSport bermudagrass at the new Tournament Players Club at Valencia, California, which is likely the first in the state to utilize the southeastern hybrid bermudagrass. Explains that TifSport was selected due to its resistance to cold and ability to "grow under unfavorable water conditions." Describes the golf course and the grass installation process. Lists some other advantages of TifSport, including "closer mowing heights, upright leaf blade orientation, impressive leaf texture, dark green color, superior turf density, low nutritional requirements, good lateral growth, cold tolerance, superior sod strength and pest resistance." States that "now that the course has proven TifSport will thrive in the West, there will probably be more golf and sports facilities using it." |
