Fun Fact: Bentgrass is a wonderful grass, is cut extremely short, and is the one of the deciding factors between an average golf course and a fantastic one. Did you know that Bentgrass, used on golf greens, does not have the ability under normal conditions to endure high summer heat, especially in the south. Not without being micro-managed. Yet, it is used on golf greens. Why??
Golf greens are high maintenance and receive attention on a daily basis. In summer they can get attention several times a day. This extreme attention to detail by experienced turf managers is why it is used on greens and why it can survive where it was never intended to be grown.
