It's been four years since we have seen any Fairy Ring on the greens (Rings Are Back), and they are never welcome. In fact, since 2012, this is only the fourth time we have had to deal with this disease, so it definitely isn't something you can set your watch by.
Despite some very wet conditions this past week, we made a fungicide + wetting agent application and watered the greens afterwards, in order to move the products down into the rootzone where Fairy Ring activity is taking place.
As we are already dealing with the anticipated cool-season turf roots shortening during the heat of the summer, getting blindsided by Mother Nature with these rings just isn't any fun at all. However, we are not alone. If you happened to catch any of the Scottish Open this past weekend, you likely would have noticed some pretty spectacular Fairy Rings there.
