John Mascaro’s Photo Quiz
Answers from page 17 THE REASON WHY THIS TURF IS BROWN in a rectangular area can be traced back to a rule in turf that says “Turf never dies in a straight line.” Therefore this dead turf must be caused by people. This school’s multipurpose field is used for lacrosse, practice football, science classes’ outdoor ex- periments, day camp, and even as a special event/winter parking lot that gets snow plowed and salted! Before this photo was taken, the Nobles School Day Camp decided to set up a children’s “slip n’ slide” on one of the hottest days of the year for the kids to keep cool. Unfor- tunately the plastic slide scorched the turf beneath it leaving this interesting pattern of fried turf on the practice field that was just recovering from wear from the spring sports season and also the car parking from the previous winter. Photo submitted by Ryan McGillivray, a student in Turf- grass Management at UMass Amherst. Peter Thibeault CSFM is Sports Turf Manager at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA where this photo was taken.
