Account of the installation of salttolerant turfgrasses for a golf course on Barbuda, which is irrigated with salt water. Includes basic information on halophytic grasses. After 5 years of hard struggle, a man in love with golf and his wife with the nicest beach in the Caribbean were on the verge of giving up. The golf course they dreamed to have on one of the driest islands of the region just wouldnt match their standards. They were rich enough to build one of the most exclusive resorts in the world just for the pleasure of spending Christmas holidays in peace with a few good friends and high end clients but even if they had pumped a huge amount of very expensive desalted water they found them selves still hoping for some good rain to get a decent looking golf course not to mention playable.
