| Question: | "Will you kindly advise us what grass seed is preferable for tees? Many of our tees are elevated, and it would seem that a different kind of grass would be desirable for an elevated tee than for one built right on the ground." |

| Answer/Response: | "The best tees are those that are on the ground level and are relatively large in area. On the ground level turf is much more easily maintained than on a raised platform; besides, if the area is large the tee plates can then be moved frequently, every day if desired, and thus injury to the turf in spots will be prevented. Elevated tees are never warranted except for securing visibility; and even in that case they should be pretty large and an attempt made to construct them of such a form that they fit in with the landscape. Square tees are an eyesore on any golf course. In your latitude bluegrass is the best basis for a tee. More or less white clover will of course invade it, and we consider it desirable to have some bent mixed with the bluegrass. If you already have bluegrass tees you can get the bent in the tees by seeding and topdressing them in early fall, as bent is fairly aggressive when sown on other grasses. On elevated tees it is more difficult to maintain turf, as the fluctuations in the moisture conditions of the soil are much greater than on the ground level. Of course, the larger the tee the better are the conditions for growing turf on elevated ground, but it is difficult to maintain turf on small elevated tees." |
