Poa Suppression

I've been asked a lot about the "brown patches" in the fairways.  This is a result of high rates of growth regulator that targets the Poa.  Also, the very cold night time temps we experienced a few weeks back definitely exacerbated the situation.  In doing this we give the more desirable bent a chance to run a little and hopefully fill in the areas.  While it's not the best to look at right now it won't even be noticeable in the next few weeks with warmer temps moving in.  On closer inspection of the turf there is a lot of healthy new shoots growing within the Poa.  Below are some pics showing the bronzing of the turf.

  

Just some pics I've taken over the past few days, the course is really starting to come together and that's a credit to my staff.  The crew works tirelessly to make MGC the best it can be each and every day and without them there'd be no course.  So, if you see them out there a quick thank you will go a long way.  We ask that you continue to replace divots when possible and also repair all ball marks.
