   Looking for a sod producer near Yardley, PA area that grows this variety. Need sod that is tolerant to heavy cart traffic, this was suggested by our course designer Rick Jacobson. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

   Tall Fescue has no business on a golf course.

   You couldn't be more wrong. RTF, black beauty, the newer varieties look nice, handle stress better, and save on water.

   Sorry Andy, maybe its a CA thing. Course in town you may not find your ball five feet from green.

   I've never seen a pure stand of the newer tall fescues. I have patches of K51 all through my rough and it looks like hell

   We did a bunker renovation in 2012, all bunker and green banks were sodded with RTF. All mowed at 2 inches, looks and plays great. RTF by the way to answer original question does not require netting.

   No reason to shy away from newer varieties of turf type tall fescue. Much improved growth habit, leaf texture, disease and heat tolerance. Tall fescue has always been one of the better drought tolerant cool season grasses. Plenty of room on both of the courses here. On the Bermuda course, it is used in shaded roughs and low-maintenance areas. I have about 60+ acres on cool-season course in the roughs.

   This was a recommendation from our course architect on his last sight visit. We have issues with some turf near cart paths. This variety is what he suggested. We mow at 2 inches.
