hi, i have just picked up a contract for a club that has tiff eagle greens but tiff eagle is a very new variety of grass here in australia, and to my knowledge i am the only club in my state with this type. i am just wondering if anyone has worked with, got pointers on and/or knows problems to watch forthanx for any assistance

I have not seen it, but from what I hear- it produces a tremendous amount of thatch! It requires close mowing, twice a month top dressing (during peak growing periods) and once a month verti cutting. Winter color is excellent, and some courses (in milder areas) are not overseeding.

thanks, ive heard about the thatch build up but not much about the top dressin thing, i heard that too much top dressing and it struggles to come through?
