10/7    Did a google search on how to grow and maintain bent grass for a
        putting green in my backyard but didn't get good links. Any
        advice?
        \_ call a golf course and ask to talk to whoever does the grass?
        \_ There are lots of resources on the web. Train harder.
           \_ growing grass is easy, but how are you gonna cut the
              grass at such a low height? Regular lawn mowers will not do...
              \_ can't you just use some fake turf?
              \_ You buy a reel mower. They can cut down to 1/4". Better yet
                 is a greens mower. You mow every other day. This is all on
                 the web. It's a lot of work what with topdressing, frequent
                 mowing, and such. If you think it is easy maybe it isn't for
                 you. --dim
