Abstract:Describes a situation at Palmetto Golf Course in Miami, Florida, where a homeless man has complained of being "evicted" from a golf course Discusses the golf course's side of the story, explaining that "golf course staff repeatedly told Bethel he couldn't stay on the course, but...he always returned." Quotes Carlos McKeon, manager of golf operations for Miami-Dade County: "He's out here in violation of county ordinances. Despite being offered a job on the golf course on more than one occasion; he's chosen to continue his lifestyle."

Title:[Aeration frequency and timing II]
Item is a:Turftwister
Source:USGA Green Section Record. Vol. 42, No. 1, January/February 2004, p. .
Publishing Information:Far Hills, NJ: United States Golf Association, Green Section
Question:"I am the Green Chairman at our course, and I have a question about our aeration progam. Our superintendent aerates the greens each fall and early spring with large tines. I'm wondering if the spring aeration is really necessary since we have no play during our cold winter months. Our golfers complain about the appearance and bumpiness of the greens when we use the large tines in the spring."
Source of Question:Eastern Washington
Keywords:Aerification; Golf greens; Maintenance scheduling; Golf green committee chairperson; Golf Course Superintendents
Answer/Response:"Greens aeration is done to relieve compaction, provide channels of sand for improved water infiltration, and assist in the removal of poor soil or excessive organic matter. If you have significant soil problems or layering problems that pose a threat to the health of the turf and the quality of the putting surfaces, then twice-annual aeration with large tines could certainly be justified. If the aeration is carried out as a routine preventative program on greens that are relatively free of problems, then perhaps your superintendent would agree to eliminate the spring treatment or consider a compromise of using small tines in the spring to aid the greens while minimizing golfer complaints. The superintendent at your course will be able to provide the background information needed to make the best decision."

Title:Simulating evolution of glyphosate resistance in Lolium rigidum I: Population biology of a rare resistance trait
Section:Research papers
Records with this section
Source:Weed Research. Vol. 43, No. 6, December 2003, p. 404-417.
# of Pages:14
Publishing Information:Oxford: Blackwell Scientific Publications
Keywords:Evolution; Glyphosate; Herbicide resistance; Lolium rigidum; Post-emergence herbicides; Models
Abstract:"Despite frequent use for the past 25 years, resistance to glyphosate has evolved in few weed biotypes. The propensity for evolution of resistance is not the same for all herbicides, and glyphosate has a relatively low resistance risk. The reasons for these differences are not entirely understood. A previously published two-herbicide resistance model has been modified to explore biological and management factors that account for observed rates of evolution of glyphosate resistance. Resistance to a post-emergence herbicide was predicted to evolve more rapidly than it did to glyphosate, even when both were applied every year and had the same control efficacy. Glyphosate is applied earlier in the growing season when fewer weeds have emerged and hence exerts less selection pressure on populations. The evolution of glyphosate resistance was predicted to arise more rapidly when glyphosate applications were later in the growing season. In simulations that assumed resistance to The post-emergence herbicide did not evolve, the evolution of glyphosate resistance was less rapid, because post-emergence herbicides were effectively controlling rare glyphosate-resistant individuals. On their own, these management-related factors could not entirely account for rates of evolution of resistance to glyphostate observed in the field. In subsequent analyses, population genetic parameter values (initial allele frequency, dominance and fitness) were selected on the basis of empirical data from a glyphosate-resistant Lolium rigidum population. Predicted rates of evolution of resistance were similar to those observed in the field. Together, the timing of glyphosate applications, the rarity of glyphosate-resistant mutants, the incomplete dominance of glyphosate-resistant alleles and pleiotropic fitness costs associated with glyphosate resistance, all contribute to its relatively slow evolution in the field"
