Superintendents usually understand the benefits of green covers, it's management and the green committees that can be the hard ones to convince. We promote the use of covers at courses with bentgrass greens, regardless of locale. With an ever-growing number of green cover options, designed for a variety of different purposes, it's worth an open-minded look at a few of the options on the market to see if your course could benefit from a cover-up.

The covers pay for themselves in a couple of seasons, we estimate that we've saved between $15,000 and $20,000 per year on labor, seed, fertilizer and herbicide normally used for transition. - E. Bauer, The Club at Carlton Woods
