It snowed in August!


Rough Update for #7 and #8:
At this point in time we are half way through the program of controlling annual bluegrass in the rough. Interestingly enough it is also turning the bermuda white as well which happens to be a good side effect. We will monitor this and see if we can slow the growth down. The best part about this program is that we do not harm the grasses that we would like to keep, such as the existing tall fescue/kentucky bluegrass in the rough and the rye grass in the intermediate. Our ultimate goal here is to produce a more uniform and consistent rough. We will keep you posted as we near the end of the program in about 10 days.

Bermuda turning white, note the rye grass is doing well

Poa starting to turn off color
