Here's my list of options with CDN $ per pound pricing from rep:

 

007XL, 777, or a blend. The most impressive stand of bent I've ever seen was 007XL and that's not even factoring in the other benefits it supposedly possesses. You have only one green and living where you do I'd definitely sheet it going into winter. The difference come spring will be night and day.

Nice build you got going look forward to seeing a lot more updates. No SubAir? 😂

The wife cancelled the SubAir contract.

I went with 007xl. Pretty much the best I can get my hands on and after talking to the rep he said it's always evolving and anything I put down this year will be obsolete or passed in 5-10 years which makes sense when you see some names on that list. He figures in 30 years they'll have the prefect bentgrass developed, so if I'm not dead I'll Round-Up the 007xl and plant whatever that stuff will be.

Thanks for replies, looking forward to learning how to grow this stuff.

 

007xl or 777

 

Ok this 007xl is insane. I seeded way late up here but this is day 11 after seeding, not germination, seeding.

Crazy. I didn't think it would look this good by November. Thanks for your opinions on the cultivars.

 

Looking good

 

I gotta say bro. Props for seeding this late. My fingers are crossed for you. I seed bent in the spring from past experience but ya I'm pulling for you. I have 50lb of XL I'll seed in the spring. Whatever you do, keep us updated. Bent is the pinnacle of turf and it's surprisingly more manageable than people think. In my opinion, if your fungicide game is strong bent > PRG. It being more tolerant to heat/drought than PRG makes up for what it lacks in resistance—and even that is negligible. But of course, you gotta be flat flat to make it work. I can even notice a difference in my 80/20 sub vs my 100% sand stands.
