Lou, I do agree Bent is a better putting surface than even the best of burmudas. However, I think there is something to be said for 12 month golf verus 6 month golf. I will take the burnudas any day 365 days a year over 6 months of 20 to 30% better. Besides when dormant, ie mid november to mid february the burmuda is the equal of bent inho. Oh the D's allow everyone to say hi and be at the table not just those that support you, as your story shows.
