| SeaIsle 2000 was developed at the University of Georgia from a sample collected from Alden Pines Country Club in Bokeelia FL. Alden Pines is owned and operated by Stewart Bennett. SeaIsle 2000 is ideal for golf greens, tees, fairways and roughs, especially in salt-challenged environments. It's similar to the dwarf bermudas in texture and playability when maintained at 1/8" mowing height. With regular verti-cutting, light topdressing and periodic rolling, SeaIsle 2000 will deliver stimpmeter readings of 10 feet or more. It's also well-suited for fairways (1/2" to 3/4") and roughs (1" to 2") and can be maintained over two-inch mowing heights for penalty roughs. It's a grass that thrives on salt water, too You can irrigate SeaIsle 2000 using a seawater blend, or even straight ocean water with the right management practices. It also grows quite well when watered from recycled or effluent sources. As drinking water becomes more and more scarce, ocean water and these other low-quality alternative sources are going to be the only option for many golf courses. While SeaIsle 2000 will require golf course superintendents to alter some of their management practices, it will pay back dividends in reduced fertilizer, herbicide and recycled water bills. Dr. Paul Raymer is now in charge of the University of Georgia's seashore paspalum breeding program. To contact Dr.Raymer, click here. SeaIsle2000 is a patented turfgrass variety.
