Not exactly like patching the lawn
Landscaping fact of the day: The cost to replace the grass on Shaker Ridge Country Club' golf course greens with nematode-resistant "bentgrass" shipped from New Jersey in refrigerated trucks: $500,000. (Bonus grass fact: the "bent" refers to the roots.) [Biz Review]

I suppose one can hope that over time this might lead to less use of pesticides and fungicides, saving money and the environment. I know when I walk my dog at Capital Hills golf course, it give me pause when I see the grounds crew spraying chemicals in their hazmat whites to keep those greens velvety.

$500K for grass? What a waste.
