Darn Heat and Disease

Looking good ... isn't it?  Well lets look closer.
Not as nice up close ... let's look at another green like 12.

Not bad is it ... well another look up close.
Yikes!!  Not so good after all.  So what happened??  Due to the heat and the lack of wind Pythium raised its ugly head and damaged several of the back nine greens.  We have already reseed all of them, treated the disease and continue to spike in seed to repair these damaged greens.
Today, we noticed that the seed is ready in some cases to start germinating so we spiked in the seed, and lightly topdressed them.  Rest assure, ALL efforts are focused on repairing these diseased, damaged green.
