Every year, we track temperatures in an effort to correctly time our spring Poa seedhead control sprays on the greens. While we will never prevent 100% of the annoying seeds, the best way to measure how well we did is by leaving some untreated check plots.
A quick look at one of our check plots on #8 green shows you what we'd be dealing with on all of the greens if we hadn't treated them--a very bumpy surface. Our control sprays appear to have been pretty solid this year.
The picture above was taken last Friday, when we were dealing with 50 mile per hour winds, and chasing tree "helicopters" off the putting surfaces all day long. Certainly on that day, Poa seeds weren't the only seeds impacting your putts.
