I want to show the stark playability difference between a fine fescue stand under drought conditions and a non competitive grass type. Look at weed encroachment between the 2. This turf only receives N!

Hard fescue shade tolerant crossing block. Plant do not seem to have suffered from our 22-23 Minnesotan winter! ⁦@UMNTurf⁩

How well do you recognize the differences between the fine fescues on your course? Learn how to classify these turfgrass types to capitalize on each of their strengths.
