GREENKEEPING Part 2. Maintenance Practices

چکیده
It is common fallacy in Britain that 'American' golf greens are constructed of sand; are excessively irrigated, excessively fertilized, and that their surfaces are soft. Generalisations of 'American' golf greens cannot be made. The diversity in climates, maintenance budgets, construction methods, etc., results in a host of 'American' greens. The grass species on the greens may consist of Poa annua (Annual Meadowgrass); or Agrostis palustris "Penncross"; or a mixture of Agrostis and Fescue; or hybrid Bermudagrass; or even a blend of Ryegrass during the Winter months. The soils can vary from strong clays to coarse sands; from very acid to highly calcareous. The surfaces of greens can vary from soft and lush to hard and starved.
