So I have this new all season account, typical cool season blend of grass in the front.Now in the back 50% is cool season ,then there's a straight horizontal seam if you will, where the other 50% of grass butts up to it.I have no idea what kind of turf that is, its a bit of a nightmare to work with.It lays flat, if you cut it too short I would imagine you'd see brown and stolons,air blowing the clumps turns it all raggedy,then going back over it with the mower puts it back into shape.Shes a nice lady & I think she would agree to Round up that mess in Sept.

Bentgrass? Like a putting green?
Its possible,perhaps if it were trained low,but @3-3.5" cant tell,air blasting it turns it into a ruffled mess.Its all thick stolons under the top growth.I didn't try this but I'd bet theres 8" of growth if pulled from the base of the stolons. To get a true 3.0" cut it would be all stolons.

If I'm not mistaken, which I could be, creeping Bentgrass when not maintained to golf course standards grows out not up. It's lowlying,so your right about it possibly being 8" long.
