Rain and growth

We got 1" of rain yesterday. The recent warmer weather, rain and some fertilizer has made the Bermuda explode. We went out this morning and started spraying tees, fairways and approaches with a light rate of growth regulator. I wanted to start with a light rate because the first application usually dings up the Bermuda every year. Since we really aren't in a sustained warm period, a full rate might really ding it back. I just want to slow down the top growth and encourage lateral movement. We are dealing with a lot of clipping cleanup every morning here of late.
