This Golf course managers’ handbook attempts to summarize results and experiences from several research projects related to turf grass winter stress. Producing this text was included in Norwegian Golf Federations’ innovation project “Autumn application of fertilizer”, which was concluded in 2017. Some figures show data from these experiments. In order to keep the text short the experiments are described in appendix 1.
