Question:"Our greens, which are several years old, contain a large portion of fescue. In reseeding them, where necessary, would you advise us to use fescue or bent grass?"
Source of Question:Alberta
Answer/Response:"We are not familiar with the behavior of fescue under your conditions. If it forms a satisfactory turf it would not be advisable to reseed with bent, as the two grasses do not blend satisfactorily for good putting turf. If, however, it is your experience that the fescue is killed out by close cutting, as it generally is in the United States, we would advise you by all means to use bent for reseeding."
