Softer than wet mud?
Do you watch the British Open? They bounce the ball into the greens. The drives roll out forever.
Comparing dry sand to wet mud? That doesn't make sense. Wet mud isn't a soil type.
I'm just saying, even though being built on sand is a requirement for being a true links style course, that does not make it firmer than most of other soil types.
And yes, I watched the British Open. And I watch almost every other tournament played during the season, and there are plenty that have drives roll out just like the British Open, or could have them roll out if they wanted (assuming dry weather like the Open had).

Bama what do I do for dead patches in my st aug? I raked the dead yesterday. There is a little green underneath. Looks like the spots that are dead stay a little too wet. May try adding a little sand or dirt so water does not pool.

Definitely. What day and time do I look for?

you sure it's dead? or just dormant
Posted on 3/24/14 at 9:47 am to Art Vandelay
How big are these patches? Are they randomly around the yard?
Spreading some sand on them couldn't hurt. If they are dead as a door nail, take a plug or two from a healthy area, and put it in the dead patch, and then cover it in sand/dirt. Let the St. Augustine spread.
EDIT: What ole man said. Could still be dormant. I'd wait until late April or May before doing anything really. Some spots are just slower to green up.

Yeah,
Plus having somebody carpet bomb 370 yds on the reg isn't good for the Milosh image.

The main difference between true links and links style is the a true links are built on sand. The ground is firmer and you can play the ball along the ground. Green fronts on a true links course are open, meaning the bunkers are more on the side of the green

Sand drains exponentially faster than soil, so it would be relatively firmer given equal amounts of rain and wind. I'm not sure what we're arguing about.... Links golf courses built on sand based soil are unarguably firmer and faster than American courses build on earth/mud/soil unless they are completely baked out and shaved. If you watch the tour, then you don't see guys bouncing shots into greens regularly. You see them flying shots in with tons of spin. They stop and/or spin back. When they play in Scotland, they purposely land the ball short of the green and allow it to bounce on and roll to the hole. Try that at your home course.

What do they call golf courses built on blackjack?

Native soil also compacts exponentially more than sand. Sand resists compaction. Thus, having native soil firmer than sand.

Earth/mud/soil is not a soil type, by the way. You're speaking in very general terms. And no, sand based is not unarguably faster than other soil types.
Links courses might be maintained to be firmer and faster, but it's not just because its on sand.

I play shots to roll on to the green on 3, 6, 9, 12, and sometimes 18.
Bottom line, it's all about how it's maintained. And it depends on the soil type we are comparing to sand.

When I walk onto the tee box and do the backward cigg flick, even if somebody is behind me, it's like firing a shot across the bow.
You've been warned. I'm putting the next one in the side of the hull.
