Is Zoysia more drought tolerant than bermudagrass? No! Yet.. but without overseeding ryegrass it still requires 2AF/A less H2O. Pic left zoysia green vs. right bermudagrass, irrigation wire snapped, a week of no watering. Now let’s see the recovery.

Our @MatteH2o recently sat down with Micah Woods for a deep dive into golf course water use, bermudagrass vs. zoysiagrass water requirements, and more. A thoughtful conversation and definitely worth a listen. Apple: apple.co/3YEE0iK

Zoysia trial at Sun City Palm Desert. I did not expect full establishment 120-140 days after sprigging, but here we are… now let’s see how they do this winter

New genetics under drought, all bermudagrasses with increased drought tolerance (Eg. Tahoma 31, Tiftuf, Coachella, and others) vs the surrounding 328, after 10 days of no water.

Any reports of allelopathy in Zoysia? Or just weed competition from the tighter surface? From L-R, zoysia, bermudagrass, and overseeded with ryegrass. No herbicide control. Poa annua is only present on bermudagrass and ryegrass.

EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 11: Take the Golf Course Environmental Profile Water Survey and receive .50 service points. The survey — in collaboration with National Golf Foundation — is critical as the data collected helps influence our future access to water and ensure the longevity of golf:

Ryegrass is checking out faster without herbicides on subsurface drip irrigation. Likely shorter roots are not as competitive as the bermudagrass one. Added benefit in a desert environment.

No golf course wants to use more water than necessary, but how much should a course be using? The answer depends on a lot of factors. Using a “Course Coefficient” to benchmark annual water use against expected demand can provide insights into water use efficiency 👇

Any golf course that wants or needs to use less water has to manage expectations and build support among golfers for water conservation to be successful. These strategies will help you educate golfers, get productive feedback, and adjust expectations around water use 👇

The true size and scale of the Church Pews bunker is hard to pick up on TV. Be about a 100 yard toss for Steeler’s new QB Aaron Rodgers.
