I am in the process of constructing and getting ready to grow-in a 40 acre Paspalum Supreme nursery for Corales Golf Club, a Tom Fazio Design as well as the process of supervising and later on growing in Corales Golf Club.  I would contact Ronni Duncan at duncanturf@hotmail.com or John Holmes at Jennings Turf who grows it at the turf grass nursery at jaholmes@charter.net.  They can answer all the questions you might have regarding paspalum.

To the Treehouse:
Thanks for the great information on the Paspalum.  Does anyone know anything about the various strains?
Fairways and Greens

To the Treehouse:

Does anyone have any experience with Pas Palum Grass on the golf course?

Is this the best grass to use in South Florida climates?

How does it compare to 419?

If recommending a grass for a South Florida course what would be the best grass to recommend for playability?

Should the same grass be used on Tees, Fairways and Greens?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Dave

Dave:  Thought you might like to resd the article in the May 2006 Golf Inc. issue on page 32.  If you can't find an issue let me know.

We've only found two downsides to the grass: 1) we've found is that it grows extremely fast, to the point that we'll probably have to use growth retardant during next year's Senior PGA to keep conditions similar for those teeing off early and late and 2) it grows really thick, so thick that we don't oversee the greens during the winter to make sure there's no transition problems.
