Definition: Bermudagrass is a common turf used by courses in warm, tropical climates and is most common in the southern U.S. Bermudagrasses - Tifsport, Tifeagle and Tifdwarf are common varieties - have thicker blades than bentgrass, resulting in a grainier appearance to putting surfaces. The grain of bermudagrass greens can influence putts, so golfers on such greens must be aware when they are putting with, against or across the grain.
