This past Thursday, at the Golf Industry Show, the news finally broke concerning the Rio Olympics and the cultivar decisions that had been made for the course.  Zeon Zoysia will be the golf course fairway and rough grass for the Olympic venue as golf makes this historic return to the games.  Not only will the United States be represented by a marvelous field of American golfers, we will also be represented by what most golfers consider to be one of the finest playing surfaces in the game.
