Augusta Country Club - grasses

Can anyone confirm grasses used at Augusta Country Club? All bermuda? Do they reseed fairways in winter or paint or leave naturally dormant?


Thanks.

Bermuda fairways, bent greens(since the late 80's)
They overseed some years, other years no.(get an equal amount of complaints either way)
When they don't overseed fairways they don't paint.

   Hard to believe they would ever not overseed.  The entire place is overseeded ryegrass for the tournament, except the greens.
