Another stress incurred by turfgrasses is drought

stress during extreme dry periods. Warm-season

turf is typically more drought-tolerant than cool-

season grasses. This is due in part to deeper

rooting depths and the warm-season turf

photosynthesis process makes them more water-

use efficient. Deep, infrequent irrigation is the best

practice to combat drought stress periods.

A big thank you to Seth Smith and his Grounds Crew for making our

greens look great!
