Greens

We had an outbreak of Dollar Spot (Helmenthosporium) on the greens this week. This  specific fungi has been an ongoing issue this summer. I have been using different fungicides to combat the pathogen  thinking that the fungus was building up a resistance to the chemicals. With this outbreak we decided to get a little more aggressive with our treatment and gear more towards a soil treatment. In order to do that I spiked the greens then applied a fungicide and watered it in which we refer to as a "drench". I then applied a foliar or "contact" fungicide which should kill the fungus. We have fertilized recently which should promote more growth to heal the patches on the greens.

Club Championship

Our club championship is this weekend and we have been preparing for it. The greens have been cut a little shorter and top dressed to add some speed, the bunkers edged and cutting weeds in front of thee tee boxes. We appreciate those who have signed up and hope you play your best. Thank you  for making Brickshire your club of choice.
