Abstract/Contents:"Ive been studying turfgrass performance in East and Southeast Asia since 1998. Over the past fifteen years, Ive had a chance to manage, observe, or investigate the growth and performance of grasses at hundreds of locations in Asia. Manilagrass (Zoysia matrella) grows wild throughout this region, especially in coastal areas, and is the standard grass used on open, unshaded lawns in Southeast Asia. I describe here where we can find manilagrass in the wild and explain the advantages of this grass for use on golf courses, specifi- cally related to the production and maintenance of links-style surfaces, while addressing some questions that are often raised about this grass."
