A look on the positive side

The bermuda grass has never looked better!

The greens have some issues - they turned south overnight. I am almost certain it's not a disease but I have sent samples away. I'm afraid it might be bacterial wilt. Quite a few clubs in the area are struggling with this right now. Kingsmill, Fords Colony, Williamsburg National, CCV, James River, Kinloch, Petersburg CC, and others are struggling with greens right now. There are a few confirmed results of bacterial wilt in the area and there's not a whole lot you can do for this. I'm going to put down another application this weekend to help knock it back in hopes of starting to regenerate new growth.

For all of you that stayed off the golf course on Friday...THANKS. It really helped not getting all that traffic on greens today. It says a lot about our membership that you would stay off your golf course to help us survive this difficult stretch of weather we are having. Thanks.
