Question:"The typical western short grass, commonly called buffalo grass, seems to make an ideal sod for our rough. Do you think it would be possible to transplant sod of this buffalo grass to our rough? Is it possible to purchase seed of such grasses?"
Source of Question:Colorado
Answer/Response:"We think it would be quite possible to transplant buffalo sod, if done at times when rain may be expected. Seed of none of these native short grasses is available. You could, however, gather the seed yourselves and scatter it over the fairways and rough, and this would probably help considerably. If your fairways are not irrigated, the different short grasses would probably be the best you could use on them. Bluegrass and redtop are excellent for fairways where there is moisture enough for them to grow, and bluegrass will grow in any place in Colorado where there is a little seepage water or where the land is irrigated. If you sow bluegrass and redtop on your fairways we would recommend a mixture of 4 pounds of the former and 1 pound of the latter, sown at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre."
