My initial thoughts are a hybrid between the RES and greenies, but just wanted to get some other opinions as well! Hopefully the photos will show up, if not I will try to get them to.

That sounds (looks???) like RESxGSF to me. "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling
