Annual happening. The water warms up and the stuff grows like...well...weeds.
Plays havoc with jets.
Once it starts cooling down, the stuff will die out til next summer.

That stuff sucks. Who knew such a small amount could plug up my drive? I'll be back out there labor day weekend. Can't wait.....

I normally have to bring my own grass to Parker, that local stuff gives you a headache... :)

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

That grass is just as bad every year. And every year everybody says "It I don't remember it being this bad before". Sometime you can just stick an i/o in reverse and it will knock it off the prop. I have never got out and cut grass off of a prop. Just reverse and wa la. Ask RiverDave he is an expert at "mowing the dirty grass" in Parker, something about the locals.
