CGC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SURVEY
The Colorado Golf Coalition (CGC) will be releasing a Colorado Golf Economic and Environmental Impact Report in 2020. As part of the data collection process, we are asking for your assistance to complete the CGC environmental impact survey by January 26, 2020. There are 20 questions, and it will take less than nine minutes to complete the survey once you have the necessary information.
Thank you for your support of this important initiative.

Selection of Water Saving Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue for Colorado Turfgrass Industry & Relationships of Soil Analysis, Turf Quality, and Shoot Analysis of Kentucky Bluegrass Under Effluent Water Irrigation on Golf Courses
Dr. Yaling Qian, Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture
Colorado State University, September 2019
Project 1: This on-going RMEGI supported research began in 2017 to compare turfgrass quality and growth of 15 different Kentucky bluegrass entries, 19 tall fescue entries and 1 perennial ryegrass line under different irrigation treatments to determine relative drought resistance of the different entries and document the water quantity needed for each entry to maintain acceptable and desirable turf quality.
Project 2: Research was conducted on eight golf courses in the semiarid Front Range of Colorado to determine the effects, if any, of watering with effluent water on turfgrass and the degree of accumulation of different minerals or salts in turfgrass shoots when effluent water is used for irrigation. Three courses have used effluent water irrigation for 10 years, three courses for 18-26 years and two courses have used effluent water irrigation for 15 and 18 years. Turf quality of Kentucky bluegrass was evaluated on 25 roughs from the above-mentioned golf courses and analyzed for a variety of mineral concentrations.

Efficacy and Safety of Proxy-rate Programs in Winter for Annual Bluegrass Seedhead Management
Adam Van Dyke, M.S., CPAg, Professional Turfgrass Solutions LLC
This RMEGI supported research was conducted from November 2017 until May 2018 on a 70:30 annual
bluegrass: creeping bentgrass putting green at Murphy Creek Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado. Proxy® (Bayer)
was applied at two winter timings, and at different rates, to evaluate the effectiveness of making early
applications compared to just making traditional spring applications for controlling seedheads of annual
bluegrass. Proxy was applied at a pre-snow timing (before snow cover) on November 20, 2017 and at a postsnow
timing (after snow melt) on March 8, 2018.
