A fine-stemmed grass species used in golf courses and lawns for its delicate texture and appearance.
From 'fine' plus 'bent grass,' named for its bent or arching seed heads. Horticulturists classified this grass variety by its desirable thin stems compared to coarser grasses.
Golf courses obsess over finebent grass because a 1-inch difference in grass thickness makes a measurable difference in how putts roll—it's why golf terminology is so precise and specialized compared to everyday lawn talk.
