Fake or Real

With football season coming to a close with the Super Bowl and the college bowl games a distant memory, it seemed appropriate to reflect on the artificial versus natural grass debate. The Go Green advocates might suggest that artificial turf is better in the long run because mowing of grass is eliminated, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and it's just better for the environment. Everyone has his or her own ideas on the subject, so let's hear back from the turf experts on this.

Smurf Blue Fields and Bright Red ones too…Is Purple Next...
How about turf schools with fake spots fields? What at a turf school?
My NFL team plays on artificial turf…but it's indoors.
How about the increase in hip and thigh injury?
How about a nasty rug burn you get from skidding on it that turns into a bacterial infection?
How much oxygen is being released from that plastic stuff?
Greenhouse…How about the heat reflected off the plastic turf?
Artificial doesn’t mean lower cost or no maintenance
A whole town is upset because they want to replace the grass in the park with artificial turf.
How about the weave of real and fake?
Kids never knowing real turf...LOL
Is golf next?

This is all in good fun... So keep your hats on

But it would be great to hear back on whether you think it will ever affect the game of golf. It's here already on full tee lines on ranges and back yard putting greens.
