1/23: Gulfstream (6th-9th)

[golfer]

9th: CLM/N2L, 4+, 8.5f-T (Super)

A typically well-matched collection of N2L what-not to conclude what could be a juicy Quad; ]#8 Storming Sea from Brothers makes turf debut with zero family history to utilize coming from unraced dam and with unraced sibs; #6 Stalwart Woodsman seems 'fast enough', but hasn't seen a blade of grass since last February and his pedigree-mates are a collective 19/0-3-3 on loam..

Nobody else noticed today's word of the day?

At first I thought Steve had misspelled the word "lawn". But then I realized that didn't make any sense. So I looked it up:

Soil is composed of many particles of varying sizes. Soil scientists have classified soil particles into three major groups: sand, silt and clay. Sand particles are the largest and tend to hold little water but allow good aeration. Clay particles are very small in size and tend to pack down so that water does not drain well and little or no air can penetrate. Silt particles are medium sized and have properties in between those of sand and clay.

A loamy soil, then, is one that combines all three of these types of particles in relatively equal amounts. Loamy soil is ideal for most garden plants because it holds plenty of moisture but also drains well so that sufficient air can reach the roots

Seth...with your user name being GOLFER, you should know what loam is without looking it up. Its the best type of soil imaginable to grow most golf course grasses on

Kevin, I hack up the turf, I don't grow it! I carry the divot-filling sand by the barrel when I'm out on the course.

Oh, I know Hopefully someday you will have the pleasure of witnessing my grass destruction in person (and perhaps giving me a "discounted" lesson?).
