I agree with Don on that one. We just did a redo with Champions greens, and they do a great job of planting and give you full specs on how they think it should be grown in, which the superintendent followed.
In Texas, we have heard very few complaints after ten years.
BTW, as to good players, I have told the story before, but several years back, they put Champions on the PG at Barton Creek as a test, and because it was wearing out. The course remained bent at that time. When the senior tour got there, all the supposedly knowledgeable players wondered why the putting green had better grass than the course, and didn't even know it was Bermuda. IMHO, so much for the better players asking to keep bent.
Face it, in the south, bent needs a life support system. It's hard to justify it based on a few good players. In fact, from memory, the whole movement got started because JN insisted it could be done in Houston, at a low play, high end club. Not that he was the first - Marvin Leonard at Colonial had the same idea back in 1935 or so, and made it work for a long time.
