I lived in Lubbock for 5 years. Most of the grass they use there is bermuda or one of its hybrids. It is common practice there to scalp the lawns (1st mow) in the spring to avoid thatch problems. Most people also cut it too short on a regular basis during the growing season (<1"), so you tend to see some browning in the summer heat.

Many homeowners think they have a "golf course" type lawn if they just cut it short enough.
