Mach 1, a new ultradwarf bermudagrass available for golf course greens, received its plant patent.
Developed by Rod Lingle, CGCS, Mach 1 sets itself apart from previous ultradwarf releases with super fine texture for superior ball roll, excellent response to growth regulators and incredible visible purity, says Modern Turf.
As part of Mach 1’s introduction to the market, courses around the world from Florida to Vietnam planted trial plots for evaluation. Trump National Golf Club Charlotte in North Carolina is the first to install the new ultradwarf for permanent play. Their new Fazio-designed par-three practice facility, Fazio Five, features Mach 1 on all greens.
