The\nZozo Championships are currently being held in Japan and rather uniquely some\nof the holes have two greens and in the pre-tournament skins game it was left\nto the player to decide which green they played to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nis apparently a common occurrence on Japanese courses because their summers are\nhot and humid and their winters cold so they would have Bermuda grass for the\nwinter greens and Bent grass for the summer greens therefore allowing almost\nall year round uninterrupted golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If\nyou think about it there are a number of good reasons to have double the greens\nin that there is only half of the wear and tear and no need to reduce and\ndiscount prices during hollow tining periods and frees up one green per hole\nfor renovation or maintenance and provides variation for the members not\nplaying exactly the same hole each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\nis of course a down side because double the number of greens means twice the\nmaintenance which in turn increases the costs for the golf course owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still\nit is good to see someone trying something different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
