Course Update


You may have noticed the small circular spots on the greens.  This occurred last
Tuesday evening around 5:30 pm from a brief shower.  Unfortunately, the
sun came out directly after this rain event and brought out the disease,
Dollar Spot, on our 13th day.  Fungicide applications normally last at 14 day intervals
and their efficacy declines as it gets closer to that 14th day.
This should not interfere with putting and should recover over the next couple
of weeks. 
















 
We applied an insecticide to those pesky and annoying ant mounds,
so they should soon disappear.  Unfortunately, the chemical used does take
some time for total control.


With the hot temperatures arriving, we solid tined and top dressed the greens.  This
will aid in water movement and gas exchange, which is vital with excessive heat and
humidity.
