Thats so true that the grass season to too short.  They should change the US Open to grass to prolong it.  Plus it probably isn't a great idea having grass at the Ozzy Open because the sun would just kill it lol

I think before they can extend the grass court season, national tennis associations around the world have to provide more grass courts for clubs etc. to play on. Also, before there can be more major tourneys on grass, there has to be more plain ATP level tourneys on grass. It would be a bit disproportionate if there was, for example, a slam and a masters on grass and only a couple of other tourneys on grass...

Having so many grass courts for clubs is not feasible.  They are too hard to maintain.  That's why hard courts are most prevalent. You just can't maintain grass courts and play on them every day.

Yes, you're right, and that at the end of the day is why there are so few grass tourneys.
