Disease pressure

There is loads of dollar spot that sprung up in the fairways, hence the spraying. This morning the course manager put up the irrigation on everything for 1mm. The cycle ends at 0600 and the reason given is to remove the dew off the turf and hopefully relieve the disease pressure. 

Spray old course greens and fairways

Fairways:
infill
Wetting agent 
Iron 

Greens:
Infill

Quick overview

May-June 315mm of rain
July-August 18mm of rain

It hasn't rained for 4 days now, so good for the course to dry up

Last week the greens. fairways and tees were sprayed with infill and iron. Greens had manganese added to the mix. 

The aprons have been getting cut with a triple mower (perpendicular to the walk-behind mower lines)

Greens height has been lowered to 2.75mm from 3mm. The reason for this is to keep the speed-up whole not putting any primo maxx on. The reason to not put sny primo on is to allow the new seed that we planted to grow faster.
