Mowing and Spraying

We are mowing all the fairways and approaches today to get them all cleaned up before more wet weather moves in. This will clean up all the earthworm castings and diviots, and put fresh lines into the fairway.

We are also spraying fairways for weeds. This extremely wet last half of the year has made it a bad year for poa. The rain tends to lessen the length of time that the pre-emerg chemicals last. We are getting all the poa now before it gets bad. We do this with a post-emerg herbicide that kills only the cool season grass (poa) and does not harm the bermudagrass.
