The Law of Physics

The law of physics states that two articles of mass cannot occupy the same space and the same holds true for turfgrass.  Every year overseeded golf course go through the unpleasant time of transition ... sometimes easy and sometimes not.  Some golf course try desperately to hold on the ryegrass by overwatering which has the effect of temporary holding on but in the long run damaging the underlying bermudagrass and being extremely wasteful in water not to mention the cost, while others force the transition with chemicals ... what a great idea.


Bare Spots that Filled in First with Bermudagrass
The Lighter Grass is the Bermudagrass Which Filled in the Void Where the Ryegrass Died
No matter what is done, transition will occur.  It isn't pretty and definitely hated by all.
