   Some people think long roots cause excess organic matter. I prefer having no roots so that organic matter isn't an issue with me.

   I also thought Jack may very good comment when asked about the "slower than normal" greens at Oakmount this year. He stated something to the effect " people forget that back when I was winning, the greens in general were putting slower than the current fairways at Oakmount " That is a clip I would like to have in my archives

   Finally, people willing to step forward and denounce an active root zone! The ultimate sod is what we have been referring to for years as clippings.
   I predict by 2019 all but the holdouts will be topdressing with Portland cement.

   All we need roots for is to keep the grass from blowing away.
