Question:"We are planning to put in some more bent greens on our course. We now have a strain of creeping bent purchased from a nursery and it has proved quite satisfactory. We are advised, however, that you do not recommend bent greens any more as they have not proved satisfactory. It has also been recommended to us that we buy some German bent and start a garden for use on our tees. Is that the best bent for tees in this locality?"
Source of Question:Illinois
Answer/Response:"We still recommend creeping bent stolons for producing putting green turf where climatic conditions are not unfavorable, because we know of hundreds of such greens throughout the country which are entirely satisfactory. We do not claim, however, that creeping bent stolons make the only good turf for putting greens. If you have a strain on your greens which has given satisfaction, we can see no reason why you should change it. In regard to a grass for tees, we find that, as a rule, bluegrass is preferred for tees in your section of the country. The addition of a little bent frequently greatly improves the turf for that purpose, but bent alone on tees often leads to disappointment. If you wish to try German bent tees, we suggest that you change perhaps two tees to this grass and compare them with the mixture of bluegrass and bent for a couple of years before going to the expense of changing all the tees at once."
