As spring arrives, time for an update on our bermuda eradication program. Google earth has updated their current maps to 4/9/2010. This view of our course is great because it has captured our early season application of our bermuda eradication product mix. Holes # 4, 7, 8, and 13 are receiving regular treatments and I did some spot applications on some other fairways. Its interesting to see the reduction in contamination and how much bermuda is on our fairways so you can get an better understanding of what we are trying to eliminate. We will do some spot spraying on the four fairways we have been working with in April upon green up and will spot spray one or two other fairways. Last season, we had spots all over the course which took a considerable amount of time to go away. This season, we will pick a couple of fairways other than the main four fairways. This will limit the areas that are disrupted so that members, guests, and tournament players will realize that not all of the fairways are damaged or have issues.
We normally make multiple applications during the season to our fairways but the heat from last summer placed too much stress on our greens which told me to call off killing anything else that was green in color. Take a look at the satellite photos below to see how the program is working. Click on the picture to enlarge.
