| Abstract/Contents: | Depicts the process of introducing TifEagle from the University of Georgia. Reports that The Landings Club in Savannah, Georgia evaluated TifEagle ultradwarf bermudagrass. Investigates the 26 evaluations conducted by Wayne Hanna Ph.D, in the United States, South America and the Caribbean and notes that these evaluations were conducted in several different locations "to receive reliable data from a wide range of climates, conditions, and management regimes." Notes that Ralph Hinz, head superintendent of the Landings Club, was the first superintendent to manage TifEagle. Describes TifEagle, mentioning that it is "the third generation of bermudagrass varieties developed exclusively for golf greens at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia. Lists the early fears that many superintendents had, including the fear of poor playability problems. Discusses the encroachment issue that some parts of the golf course faced, because "no one was worried with anything competing with TifEagle, so they didn't take precautions." Gives a list of recommendations that was put together through experience, including "an edging program will be implemented to protect the greens or collars from encroachment." Notes that "aerification is the key element of Perham's [Mike Perham, director of the Landings Golf Course in 2004] organic matter and thatch management program." Concludes that Sea Island Golf Club "has also had a long and successful relationship with TifEagle." |
