Mondays Fungicide Application

Late last week we noticed some dark greens rings which appeared on six of our older greens.  This is a sign that Fair Ring or Mini ring is present.  On Monday the 7th, we spiked these greens with needle tines and applied prostar at curative rates to combat the disease.  Currently the disease is only effecting aesthetics and no turf has been lost.  We will keep a close eye on these rings and will make another application in 30 days if  necessary.

Happy New Year

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New year and invite everyone out to play some golf.  This winter has been a success.  The overseed has come in beautifully and the course is clean from all winter weeds.  This has been the second year for using Specticle as our post emergent weed control product and we look forward to using down the road.  This product has help save on labor and other post emergent product that we have used in years past.  I also want to thank the GM staff for their outstanding contribution in 2012.  Here to another successful year in 2013.
