bad grass causes loss

[jimcalhoon]

maybe if there had been a 2:1 mix of clover and monkey grass it would of helped Brentwood out.

i like all that talk about the clovers.

 

i heard there is a new rule comming out where you have to have atleast half a mix of clover in your grass.

 

has anyone else heard thisss??

From what i have heard a 1 to 2 to 1 ratio of some bermuda : winter rye : kentucky bluegrass goes really well together and keeps a field in great conditions throughout the whole year. it gives you a nice touch on the soccer ball and gives you nice clean crisp shots.

I know some of the players on that team and I can bet most are not saying it was the grass that cause the lost. Anyway, it's there home field, they ought to be used to it. Brentwood did play at home right?

i don't see how you're serious about this. i mean if you're gonna make excuses, there are many more choices than blaming the grass. if brentwood is blaming the grass for their loss to centennial, then they have bigger problems than this one loss.

 

liverpool fc 8, keep in mind that centennial was playing on the exact same grass you were.

Soccer must catch up with football. When it rains the winning team brings umbrellas. Maybe a few rolls of sod..... /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I like playing on Kentucky Fescue that is in patches, so the you have to dribble through and around them. Fescue patches or as I like to call them "Nature's cones" ... Why purchase a $1 cone if Nature can give them for free!

I would go with the thermal blue/centipede mix... It has a well established root system and is a hardy grass. It comes from the grass farms of Nebraska and proves to be a the perfect winter mix.

I agree with morton c, the centpede mix does an amazing job at germinationg where pratically no other breed will. It is a little pricy but it has a reputatution of holding up against the elements that is well deserved.

I agree with turtleboy the kentucky fescue can not only be used as natures cone but it can also be used inside the 18 in case of a pk or goal kick, the random lumps of grass will allow the goaly to tee up his goalkick allowing for possibly longer goal kick and more break aways on both sides of the field. Now that would make the games exciting.

f9d whoever started this forum is a joke. even if field conditions stink u still have to play in them. both teams have to play through it and obviously your team couldnt. get over it, if this is that huge of a deterrant to your strategy than i guess its time you either make it an indoor team or start practicing on gravel.
