Re: Painting golf greens for winter color

**jo ellen meyers sharp h*@sbcglobal.net**

People have been painting warm-season grasses for a long time. 
Zoysia, St. Augustine and Bermuda used to come with instructions on 
how to paint the grass.

My former brother-in-law plants zoysia grass on his Vincennes, Ind., 
lawn. It turned brown every winter and he painted it green.
