Rembert, South Carolina - November 22, 2012 - Modern Turf, Inc., the preeminent, South Carolina-based turfgrass production company, announced it has completed installation of Miniverde Ultradwarf Bermudagrass turf at The Arthur Hills Morgan River Signature Course on Dataw Island, South Carolina.

Hank Kerfoot, President of Modern Turf, Inc., said, “This is our second venture working with the terrific people at Dataw Island Club. In 2011, we installed ultradwarf Bermudagrass as part of the renovation of their Cotton Dike course, designed by Tom Fazio. The completion of this second phase of work, on the par-72, 18-hole Morgan River course, was equally rewarding. This is a beautiful course featuring myriad obstacles and undulations: a championship course deserving of a high-quality turf.”

The MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermudagrass produces deep roots and is characterized by fine leaf blades, short internodes and high shoot density. MiniVerde has been the top-rated Bermudagrass in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials for the past several years.

Added Kerfoot, “We are seeing a trend in premier golf courses taking on renovations of their older greens. The ultradwarf Bermudagrass is a firmer, faster, more consistent putting surface that will present a fair challenge to golfers and ultimately reward them for good putts.”
