Sustainability is a key framework for analyzing biological systems—and turfgrass is no exception. It is part of a complex that encompasses turfgrass interactions with different environments and the suitability of different turfgrasses for specific environments. In addition to its biological role, turfgrass—in the form of lawns, green spaces, and playing surfaces—brings beneficial sociological effects to an increasingly urbanized society. This book presents a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and issues in the field of turfgrass research and management, including the genetics and breeding, the diseases and pests, and the ecology of turfgrasses, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.

In this proceedings volume, specialists in sports medicine, exercise physiology, coaching, sports psychology, equipment design, and golf course construction and management present papers detailing the latest developments in research, while development and manufacturing specialists from the golf industry worldwide illustrate the connection between advanced scientific thinking and the practical business of producing better golf equipment.
