bentgrass
Putting green cover
Bentgrass is any of several fine-textured grasses in the genus Agrostis, prized for lawns, golf courses, and putting greens.
The creeping varieties spread by stolons to form dense, carpet-like turf: The greenskeeper maintains the bentgrass at a quarter-inch height.
Bentgrass requires careful maintenance and thrives in cool, moist climates.
