If this question has you scratching your head, it's because we can say with conviction that you have not seen the widespread Take-All Patch we've dealt with in prior years. While a few fairways have a slightly mottled appearance from Take-All (like #7, below), you have to look pretty closely to notice it.
So, why no major Take-All this year? Well, the answer to this question dates back nine months, to last fall. It was in October that preventative fungicide applications were made. As a root-borne pathogen, if you wait until you see Take-All damage on the foliage, it's often too late to treat.
Nine months is a long time to wait, but given the positive results, we aren't complaining!
