Anthracnose Update

To update you on the health of our greens, I'm pleased to report that we have the basal rot anthracnose in check at this time.  We are seeing recovery throughout all affected areas, but must be careful not to let our guard down as this aggressive and opportunistic pathogen can flare up and begin attacking stressed turf that is susceptible to infection.  

As stated in my previous post, we are continually "spoon-feeding" the turf the nutrients it requires to help recover from this disease.  We are also reducing our mowing frequency and continuing to promote healthy turf through light topdressing and venting.  Our fungicide program is being scheduled to ensure that there are no lapses where turf may be unprotected.  

We anticipate seeing continued improvement in the greens and will certainly keep you updated.  Please check back here often for updates and other pertinent information on what's going on out on your course!
