Whistler Golf Club Snow Mold Trial Project
By Stuart Carmichael, Assistant Superintendent
This fall at the Whistler Golf Club we partnered up with the Western Canadian Turfgrass Association, Syngenta and TerraLink in a research project on the effect of snow mold on putting greens. It is not often that a golf course does not apply any fungicides on their greens going into the winter season. Due to our very exciting project of re sodding our greens this spring, it allowed us to try a variety of different ideas to control snow mold over the winter months.
