Question:"A native fescue is very abundant over our entire course. It is our desire to have pure bent greens and fairways. Do you think that the bent would in time crowd out the fescue entirely, or would it be necessary for us to use other means in order to get rid of the fescue?"
Source of Question:New Hampshire
Answer/Response:"As for your putting greens, if you already have bent in them, and particularly creeping bent, there is no doubt that under close cutting and adequate fertilizing and topdressing the bent will crowd the fescue out. The same will likely be true for your fairways, as even without the close cutting the adequate fertilizing of the bent should tend to effect the disappearance of fescue. In the rough the bent is not likely to crowd the fescue out, but we believe you will find the fescue a desirable grass for your rough. Fescues do not stand close cutting well, and where they are in competition with the bents under such conditions, the bents will almost invariably get the upper hand in a short time."
