Under Trying Conditions

Dear Trey,

I live in Northwestern Wisconsin (near the Minneosta boarder) and my soil is pure sand. The sand is course and drains very quickly and has (I assume) limited nutrients. I have several large oaks that provide variable amounts of shade-but my lawn is always turning brown. We water extensively, but the minute we quit, it browns. I am ignorant of the types of grass that can be effectively grown under such conditions. Do any exist? Are there any suggestions you have concerning building a healthy lawn? Do I need to specifically focus on thatch, watering, rooting, reseeding, cutting, or any other processes?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much-

Nathan
