REGIONAL UPDATES

REGIONAL UPDATES
The USGA Green Section is divided into
eight regions staffed by agronomists who
work with golf facilities on care of the golf
course. USGA agronomists provide regular
regional updates outlining current issues
and observations from the field. Be sure to
view updates from multiple regions as
featured ideas, techniques and solutions to
problems often apply to other parts of the
country.

NORTHEAST REGION 
Last-minute winter preparations are
underway at golf courses throughout the
region. Learn how proactive, preventive
strategies like temporarily raising mowing
heights, improving surface drainage and
addressing shade issues can help your golf
course prepare for another winter.

MID-ATLANTIC REGION
The growing season has come to an end
for much of the Mid-Atlantic Region, but
there are still important precautions that
may reduce winter-injury potential.
Although time-sensitive and difficult to
schedule, learn how properly applied
preventive snow mold products may help
your turf emerge from winter unscathed.

SOUTHEAST REGION
As another season wraps up for much of
the Southeast Region, now is a great time
to reflect on the trends and events that
took place during 2014. This week's
regional update highlights three stories
from 2014 that we hope you find instructive
as we approach the new year.

FLORIDA REGION
The winter golf season has been ramping up
throughout the Florida Region, and the
combination of increased traffic and cooler
temperatures is causing some turf to appear
off-color. Traffic-management strategies are
critical, but to reduce turf damage effort
must be given by the staff and golfers alike.

NORTH-CENTRAL REGION
Warm-season grasses have transitioned to
dormancy in most, if not all, of the North-
Central Region. But despite what many
golfers think, the off-color grass is not
dead. However, a fresh coat of turf
colorant can make all the difference to
golfers that play on dormant, warm-season
grasses.

MID-CONTINENT REGION
When it comes to trees, understand that
each and every tree on a golf course adds
to the course's maintenance costs. There
are a number of added expenses that
many golf facilities fail to fully consider.

NORTHWEST REGION
Golf courses in Western Canada and the
Pacific Northwest share several similarities,
but there are also key differences that make
managing golf courses on both sides of the
border unique. Learn more about the
similarities and differences of golf course
maintenance on both sides of the border in
this regional update.

SOUTHWEST REGION
Are you concerned about bicarbonate
levels in your irrigation water reducing the
water infiltration rate of your putting green
soils? USGA-funded research from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
investigated this issue, - and you may find
the results surprising.
