Hey there, let me tell you about the grass on golf courses. You see those fancy places where folks whack a little ball around? Well, that grass ain’t just any old grass. They gotta pick the right kind, you know? It’s a big deal, picking the right grass. That grass gotta be tough, gotta take a beating. I hear tell, there’s lots of different kinds they use.
Now, one kind I heard about is called Bermuda grass. This stuff, they say it likes the hot weather. Like, real hot. And it don’t mind if it don’t rain much. Sounds like the kinda grass you’d want down south, where the sun just beats down somethin’ fierce. And it grows back real good, even if folks are stompin’ all over it and digging it up with them golf clubs. The grass is important for golf course. They gotta be real picky about it.
This Bermuda grass, it can handle a lot. Lots of folks walking on it, those little divot things I see them making. Don’t seem to bother this Bermuda. Tough stuff, I reckon. They need the tough grass for all the players. So many people play golf, walk on the grass every day. The grass can’t die.
Then there’s another one called Bentgrass. Sounds funny, don’t it? Bentgrass. But they say this one’s real popular too. They use it on them golf courses a lot. Specially in places where it don’t get too blazing hot in the summer. They say, up north or near the ocean, this bentgrass does real good. It’s good grass, too. It is important to use the right grass.
They say this Bentgrass is real short and flat. Makes sense, I guess. You wouldn’t want tall, lumpy grass when you’re trying to hit a little ball into a tiny hole. Gotta be smooth. It needs to be smooth for the ball. The ball can’t roll on the tall grass. I think maybe this is why they like that kind.
Choosing the best grass for golf courses is important. They always talk about those two, Bermuda and Bentgrass. So important! So important they say. But then they mentioned another one, called Zoysia? Sounds like somethin’ from outer space, don’t it? But this Zoysia, they say it’s gettin’ real popular now. They say it don’t get sick much, don’t need a lot of fussing over. And it’s real fine, like, real smooth for that little ball to roll on.
I heard it don’t need as much feeding. You know, like fertilizer and stuff. That’s probably good, save them some money, I reckon. And it’s tough, too, like that Bermuda. Can handle all them golfers tromping around. I think this Zoysia might be the best. But I don’t know. I don’t play golf.
So you see, it ain’t simple, picking the right grass. They got all these different kinds. They say it depends on the weather, and the dirt. And how much work they wanna do to keep it looking nice. And what part of the course it is. Like, that putting green, that’s gotta be extra special, I guess. The putting green is the most important part.
- Bermuda grass likes it hot and dry.
- Bentgrass likes it cooler.
- Zoysia is tough and don’t need much care.
They gotta water it just right, and cut it just so. It’s a whole lot of work, just for some grass. They water it everyday. If it is too hot, maybe they water it twice a day. And they cut it everyday. But, it is important to the people who play golf. They like the good grass. They say the good grass makes them play better.
I reckon it’s like growing anything. You gotta pick the right kind for where you are, and then you gotta take care of it. Just like my tomatoes. If I don’t water ’em, they dry up. And if I don’t pick the weeds, they get choked out. Same thing, I guess. Just a different kind of plant. And a whole lot more work, it sounds like! I just grow tomato. I don’t grow grass.
So, next time you see them fellas out there on the golf course, you think about that grass. It is special grass. Think about all the work that goes into keeping it just right. It ain’t just grass, it’s special golf course grass. They need to make sure to plant the right grass. And don’t forget it. The golf players, they need the good grass. They can’t play without the good grass. They say it is the most important part. I don’t know, I don’t play. But I heard the players say.
Golf course grass is a big deal. They put a lot of thought into it. All the different types of grass for golf courses, they all got their good points and bad points. Picking the right one is the hard part. I guess they need to think about it a lot. And it is very important to take good care of the grass. They need to water it, and cut it, and feed it. And they need to keep it from getting sick. The grass need to be healthy.
It is a lot of work, but it is important for the golf. The people who play golf, they need the good grass. The right grass. They like to play golf on the right grass. I heard them say, many times. They want the right grass. It needs to be perfect.
