Lastly, What are the key elements needed for healthy turf?
Thanks. I need this for work. I know shit about grass.
Im not too into the course grass side of things when it comes to golf but I can do my best to help here.
The two most common types of grass for greens is bermuda and bent.
Bentgrass is usually used on greens that have to withstand cooler temps (whether year round or durring winter) The midwest and northern courses usually have this for greens.
Bermuda is usually on the southern courses where heat is a objective year round, it can(and always is) be mown very short and these greens are always fast and tough to read. I personally hate bermuda greens, but thats just cuz im a midwest guy. Poa anna greens also thrive in warmer weather and these greens suck too imo.
