2019 is here

It's officially time to stop whining about this year's weather, and move on.  While we are still focused on providing exceptional playing conditions throughout the fall of 2018, as the golf course mowing requirements start to decrease with cooler temperatures, quite a bit of our efforts are now geared towards having a successful 2019 season.

There is probably no better example of this than our Take-All patch prevention sprays.  The first of these applications was made this past week, on October 26.  Why is this date important?


The significance of spraying for Take-All patch in October, is that the damage from the disease typically isn't seen on the fairways until late spring, often peaking at Memorial Day.  The picture below was taken on May 31, 2018.


So, yes, even as we are still licking our wounds from the summer of 2018, we are actively working to prevent future turf damage from occurring more than half a year from now.
