I am happy to say that Lexington, KY will be my new home for the next 4 years of my life. So all you Kentucky guys up here I need a foursome for the weekends man!

Go Big Blue!

The end of March, Warbirdlover and I make our annual trip to KY near the Kentucky Dam area for a few days. Maybe you could join us for a round.

Won't be up there until about august of 08 though with the whole college thing. I just want to like know how much different courses up there are from down here. I mean are we still talking Bermuda FW and Bermuda Greens?

I was expecting to see a picture of San Quinten or something like it.

I just did a google search on golf courses in the Lexington area and it looks like it's far enough north that most courses have bentgrass greens and a variety of different fairway grasses (bluegrass, bentgrass or bermuda). I would also expect some zoysia fairways too as they take summer heat well and are fairly low maintenance. Around Kansas City (where I'm located) this is pretty typical for courses here and we're close to the same latitude as Lexington, maybe 50-75 miles further north.

bentgrass huh? Isn't that the kind of grass thats regarded as ulta-fast? I really don't know much beside bermuda because thats all we have down here with the exception of "champion turf" which I classify as fancy bermuda .

If they mow it tight and let it dry out a bit, yeah it can be lightning fast.

Hint: In 1981 they switched all the greens at Augusta National to bentgrass.

Last time Youngun5 and I played, we played an old school (circa 1910) muni course here that has small rolling crowned bentgrass greens. No rain in quite a while and past growing season so the greens were deadly fast. Oh yeah, it was a really windy day too.

He and I both had slightly downhill, downwind putts that we just barely got started and rolled them off the green! Fun stuff. :laugh:
