As a few of you may have noticed there are "spots" on the edges of several greens. Since we want the fastest green speed that we can obtain we barely foliar feed the green's turf to keep it slightly growing for ball mark repair but very hungry in general. During the recent fertilizing of the green surrounds our team member accidentally threw a few fertilizer prills onto the greens -- thus leading to the green spots that you see on the edges. The good news is that over time these will blend back into the green.
Now as for the "white spots" on the greens, this is caused by Poa Annua that is starting to seed head. Luckily, these spots are on yet fewer greens and we are working on plugging them out as fast as we can. Sadly, the chemicals that kill this type of Poa also kill the Poa Triv.
