I love turf (you already know this) but it has to be the right kind of turf- knitted nylon not woven polypropolene. Actual old school Astroturf is knitted nylon.
Poly is a royal PITA to install properly (raking fill in until it there is about 1/4 inch of turf above the fill) and is slick when wet when not properly installed. Poly is also very easy to come by used whereas the knitted nylon is only used for field hockey anymore so is a bitch to get. To my knowledge the only poly turf in this area is at the Blockhouse and at Bull Run. Loriella, Lake Marshall, Walnut Creek, Cannon Ridge, Montgomery Hall, Meadowcreek, Raptor's, and the temp rolls that NOVA and LOCO both have are all knitted nylon from either the JMU field hockey field (green) or the UVA field hockey field (blue).
I would wager Horsman has not trodden on knitted nylon turf.
Probably not, I tend to stay away from courses with turf tees and all of the turf courses that I have played have had slick turf tees.
