Recently, we were able to apply a selective herbicide to the fairways. The target weed; Annual Bluegrass (Poa) has been impacted by exhibiting a yellow color and will slowly die as the temperatures warm as noted in the photo below.
The putting greens were aerified last week and we have been fertilizing and rolling to help with smoothness and recovery. With a smaller team, we utilized larger and heavier equipment to complete the processes. Unfortunately, this created some subtle and unwanted undulations. We were able to smooth the greens with a 2,500 lb asphalt roller. Hopefully, Mother Nature will cooperate and give us some much needed sun and warmth for both the putting greens and Zoysia grass to create consistent growth!
Please pass along any feedback or questions to grounds@hydeparkcc.com
Thank-you,
