On behalf of Environmental Turf, Superintendent Tom Trammell conducted a divot repair test at his golf course, Hawks Nest Golf Club, in Vero Beach, Florida. Trammell tested the amount of time it takes to repair similarly sized divots in SeaDwarf™ Seashore Paspalum and Bermudagrass. The results were quite startling...

For a divot of the same size, diameter and depth, it took the Bermudagrass 10 days to heal. It only took the SeaDwarf™ five days to heal.

Trammell surmised that the SeaDwarf's dual root system, utilizing both rhizomes and stolons, helped the SeaDwarf™ to heal twice as fast as the Bermudgrass.
