    Don't know why i thought about this, but does anyone know the HOC and the grass type used on the tennis courts?

    Not exactly sure, but I heard some former pro-now-commentator complain about the grain, and that they were only bouncing about 4 and half.

    Pete,

    And I bet some of their critics are saying "if you can't grow grass for two weeks on the baseline why don't you just put artificial turf there?".

    Have a great day!!

    Very cool. I've saved it in my favorites folder. A lot to read. Thanks, Kerry.

    Not sure but the courts at the tennis club on the other side of town are "a lot greener and bounce better".
