Moody Gardens Golf Course in Galveston, Texas, recently renovated the course seashore paspalum and came through Hurricane Ike with minor damage to the turf.
Clark Waters, CGCS and director of golf course operations for the city of Corpus Christi, Texas, interseeded Sea Spray seashore paspalum to renovate two municipal courses with great results.
A new Tom Doak 18-hole desert course set to open early 2010 is using Sea Spray seeded seashore paspalum on tees and fairways. Interest in this Scotts Professional Seed variety is gaining popularity due to faster establishment, saltwater tolerance, ease of delivery, cold and wear tolerance, plus the environmental benefits of less nitrogen and reduced water use.
