The common in the fairways is real visible right now. It is green and growing, while the hybrid 419 is still just thinking about greening up.
The common has much more of a broad leaf and isn't as upright and dense. Most golfers can't tell the difference (I think), but it does produce some ascetic and management challenges. The fairways look real patchy this time of year, and the common acts differently than the 419 when dealing with fertilizers and growth regulators. The common isn't hardly affected by high rates of growth regulators, while the 419 will bronze up and really be stunted.
To have this much common in the fairways at their age, it had to have come in on the sprigs and sod when they were growing in the course.
