Dr. Duble is an outstanding agronomist and writer. Even though this book is actually a textbook used by Dr. Duble and others to teach college level turfgrass management, it is extremely useful as a reference manual for all kinds of turfgrass issues here in Texas. Great reference book!

This really a text book but it read like a great book on turfgrasses
as a master gardener I use this book in my class.

The book is good for all people...topics covered apply not only to athletic fields(and golf courses), but also to the average home user. After reading the maintenance section, most people will learn that they over-fertilize and over-water.

Topics also include tufrgass diseases, weed control, and managing insect problems.

This book provides a compehensive discussion of turfgrasses and their management. There are plenty of pictures showing grasses, weeds, and diseases suffered. The pictures are all very clear and close up so you know what you are looking at. There is also plenty of info on how the manage(fertilize, mow, etc.) grasses. I actually used this book in a class taught by the author(Dr. Richard Duble); while I used this as a college textbook, this book does not read like a college textbook so it should appeal to a wider audience.
