Recently the United States Golf Association (USGA) sponsored a study through the University of Florida to evaluate bermudagrass cultivars for traffic tolerance and recuperative ability. The study showed that bermudagrass possesses better wear tolerance and faster divot recovery. Additionally, it compared the properties of bermudagrass to the standard golf course fairway sod, Tifway. This study was set up to investigate genetic color, density, turf quality, and divot recovery of eight bermudagrass cultivars.
