Brief Guide: To provide a short, dense and consistent playing surface ..

Sowing Rate: 25-50 grams per sq metre (1-2 oz per sq yard)

Mixture:
  35% certified Fine Leaf Fescue festuca rubra litoralis
  35% certified Hard Fescue festuca longifolia
  30% certified Bentgrass agrostis capillaris

Additional Information
The slender and hard fescues in this mixture will provide leaf cover while the slower to establish bentgrass becomes established. In time the bentgrass will become more dominant and knit the surface together to produce a very fine, dense turf. With a regular close mowing regime, these grasses will create an excellent playing surface. Careful and persistent management will result in a high content of bentgrass which has a very fine leaf texture causing minimum resistance and disturbance to a ball as it travels across the playing surface. To maintain the highest quality green the area must be mown daily or at least every other day and kept at a constant height between 5mm - 10mm. Cut in various directions to maintain maximum shoot density and consistency in the playing surface.
