Weekend Chat: Grass, Greens, and Everything In Between

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Great to be back with you for another rousing edition of weekend chat. I’m in California at the moment and have grass on my mind. Let’s get to it.

This Week’s Question

We had an amazing event at Brambles yesterday. It’s undoubtedly one of the most unique courses I’ve seen in person from an agronomic point of view (watch our All Grass is Local Video if you haven’t yet). One thing I loved was the zoysia greens and the way the ball ripped across the slopes as it lost speed. If you wanted to make a three foot slider, you had to be committed to the line.

The zoysia got me thinking, how do you value the grass type when thinking about green complexes? I think it’s easy to get frustrated by bermuda, zoysia, etc. greens and potentially overlook how good a set of greens actually is.

It’s been a few years since I saw Matt Maeson in concert but I’d highly recommend seeing a show if he’s in your town. Have a great weekend!
