Advantages of Using Match Play Turf Colorant:

Course Utilization

Colorizing your turf with Match Play allows you to have maximum course utilization. Superintendents typically do not have the ability to minimize or eliminate play to allow ryegrass to germinate and grow-in properly.

Consistent Turf Color

Choosing from a variety of Match Play colors will allow you to create that perfect and consistent contrast between greens, collars, tees and fairways. Dense bermudagrass patches can appear blotchy if the overseed does not germinate consistently.

Water Conservation

Match Play colorized turf requires far less water than overseeded perennial ryegrass.

No Spring Transition Problems

Bermudagrass will green-up sooner and more consistently in the spring without competition from perennial ryegrass and poa trivialis.

Ease of Weed Control

Controlling weeds and fungi with herbicides and fungicides is easier in dormant bermudagrass as compared to overseeded perennial rygrass.

Sustain a Stronger Stand of Warm Season Grasses

Overseeding over long periods of time can create a weaker stand of bermudagrass. If allowed to naturally go dormant in the fall, bermudagrass will come back stronger for the spring and summer seasons.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Colorizing your turf with Match Play will eliminate direct cost of seed as well as the indirect maintenance costs of mowing, fertilizing, watering and applying herbicides and pesticides.

Playability

Dormant bermudagrass can provide subtle changes in course conditions providing a greater roll in creating different club shot and direction
