Rembert, South Carolina - November 22, 2012 - Modern Turf, Inc., a South-Carolina-based turfgrass production company, has this week completed installation of new putting greens on The Tomcat Course, one of two 18-hole golf courses situated at the NAS Oceana Aeropines Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The 6,118-yard, par-72 Tomcat Course first opened in 1958. Since then, the course has become a favorite among golfing military service members.

Hank Kerfoot, president of Modern Turf, said, “We are excited to work with the NAS Oceana Aeropines team on the renovation of their existing greens. Given the Virginia Beach climate, we knew we wanted to provide them with a wear-resistant, heat-tolerant turf designed to last another half century. MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermudagrass is a beautiful green, smooth to the touch, yet incredibly resilient. “

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 during the past several years.

Said Kerfoot, “We recommend the Ultradwarf Bermudagrass to the majority of our clients, as it is the number one turf in the sport of golf today. For the Tomcat course, one that receives a large amount of play on a daily basis, durability was a key factor. Our members of the armed forces deserve to have the best quality and we are happy to have been able to provide it. Of course, we know civilian players will enjoy the new greens as well.”
