 It's called turf-type tall fescue for a reason. It likes to grow tall. And the taller it is, the more it shields the soil profile, the cooler it keeps the soil, the better off you are for fescue. I don't know if any of you are watching the British Open, but the wispy stuff that they hit out of in the rough is tall fescue. And that's how it gets really, really tall.
