FEATURES & BENEFITS:
MEDAL is a mixture of perennial ryegrass and red fescue, designed for the construction or overseeding of medium- fine and fine turf under high wear pressure.
The main components of the mixture are the ryegrasses; Barolympic and Eventus. Barolympic is the stand-out cultivar ryegrass for summer sports use. It is ranked with a score of 8.7 in Table G4 of BSPB TGS 2021, the highest Mean score in the entire publication, and more than a full point clear of its nearest rival in G4! See Table 1.
Eventus is ranked #2 for Fineness of Leaf in TGS Table L1 and shows very fast recovery and growth rates (ranked #1 in the top 40, Table L1) for a summer sports ryegrass. This enables quick germination, establishment and mid-season repair in areas of high traffic.
Barlineus is an excellent performer, highly ranked in its respective table in TGS 2020. It exhibits exceptionally high shoot density and red thread tolerance for its sub-species of red fescue.

For a long time I have been pleased with Dwarf Ryegrass. It is widely used for croquet. It is hardwearing and drought resistant. It recovers from drought and stress very well, germinates at lower temperatures and produces less thatch tah other cultivars. HOWEVER, Rye is slow to grow sideways because it doesn't tiller (sideshoot), instead it grows by expanding from the roots which oiis a slow process. For this reason I decided to try a Rye mix with creeping fescue and laid my new croquet lawn with Barenbrug Medal in the autumn of 2019. The result was really good and the fescue does seem to fill the gaps that are normally found on ryegrass lawns. It costs more but £20 to £40 extra seems seems a good investment to acheive a better playing surface.
