REGIONAL UPDATES The USGA Green Section is divided into four 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 While the unusually warm weather has been great for golf, it could be complicating winter preparations -- especially where warm-season grasses are being grown adjacent to cool-season playing surfaces. Read More SOUTHEAST REGION Turf reduction reduces the consumption of valuable resources and provides a striking contrast to highly maintained turfgrass areas. The result is a better defined and more attractive golf course. Read More WEST REGION Are you looking for a fun, creative way to grow the game of golf at your course? One course in Wyoming did just that by installing family teeing grounds that every golfer can enjoy. Read More CENTRAL REGION Maintaining clean bunker sand can be challenging. Neglecting this simple task before winter can lead to contaminated bunker sand regardless of what kind of sand or bunker liner is being used. Read More In Case You Missed It Coming Up Next Issue The November 6, 2015 issue of the USGA Green Section Record is your go-to source for information about managing trees on the golf course. View This Issue Browse All Past Issues Sand greens - also known as "browns" - offer a fun golfing experience at bargain prices, yet are enjoyed by only a small population of the golf community. Water, money and time threaten modern-day golf. Not so for sand-green courses. $5 green fees to play all day. Fast pace of play. No irrigation. Greens that don't have a blade of grass on them - just oiled sand. Learn more about the world of sand-green golf in the December 4, 2015 issue of the USGA Green Section Record.

Video: Frost Delays and Turfgrass Health As temperatures fall and frost blankets golf courses across much of the country, remember to be patient as frost delays are implemented to prevent damage to playing surfaces. View Now Video: Managing Trees on the Golf Course The right tree in the right location can be a priceless asset to a golf course, but trees that adversely affect turfgrass health or playability are liabilities. Dave Oatis provides a lesson in the history of trees, how they made it to golf courses, and why they must be managed carefully. View Now Best Management Practice Case Studies Best Management Practices (BMPs) in golf course management are critical for the protection and efficient utilization of our most valuable resources. BMPs are broad principles. The golf course manager implements these concepts with specific actions pertinent to the golf course.
