| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course superintendent Logan Freeman's management of creeping bentgrass greens at Mountain Branch Golf Club in Joppa, Maryland. States that "the most detrimental environmental factors to the health of a creeping bentgrass green are shade (especially morning shade) and airflow," and that close observation is key in order to keep creeping bentgrass in top shape. Lists best management practices that can help with maintaining creeping bentgrass in a pocketed microclimate, which include reducing nitrogen fertility, training crew members to rotate mowing direction, how to minimize turf stress, training crew members to scout for disease, aerification, avoiding overwatering, and the effective use of cell elongation inhibitors like trinexapac-ethyl. Includes key areas that should not be overlooked such as drainage; managing organic matter, wear, and traffic; scouting for weed pressure in thinning turf; and developing a weed control program. |
