Caddieshack II perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a good choice when used alone or matched with other Jacklin grasses in mixtures and blends for permanent turf in temperate and transition zone climates. Caddieshack II is adapted to use on golf course fairways, roughs and tees, sports turf, home lawns, parks, and industrial and school sites. Caddieshack II is also adapted to overseeding on dormant bermudagrass in warmer regions. Tested in an overseeding trial on dormant bermudagrass at Toscana Country Club in Indian Wells, CA Caddieshack II displayed good quality, color and density and can be mown down to putting green heights for overseeding.
Winter Performance

Hardy, Wear Resistant Turf

Wide Range Adaptation
Caddieshack II with its rich dark green color, medium fine leaf texture and good density has good performance at different maintenance regimes: high, medium and low input; and varying heights of cut. Caddieshack II quickly recuperates from stresses. Great winter color retention color makes it a fine addition to mixtures and blends that will be used late in the season.
