What does TURFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Covered with turf, or resembling turf in texture and appearance.
A turfy field or bank is one whose surface is packed with living turf, the springy mat of grass and matted roots that holds soil in place. The word describes both the visual thickness of the grass cover and the soft, slightly springy feel underfoot. Golf courses, cricket grounds and old pastures are often called turfy when their grass is dense and well established. The same root gives turf itself, the plain noun for the grassy layer being described.
