Update on Hydraulic leak 16 green

Overnight, the heavier concentrated spray from the hydraulic leak on #16 green died.  This was from direct heat of the hydraulic oil where there was concentrated line.  We will continue to monitor the remaining section.  Hopefully, the oil did not get down into the crown area of the plant.  The hydro-carbons in the oil are deadly to turfgrass which suffocates the plant and it dies.

The reddish color is due to direct heat burn of the turf.  More than likely, this area will not regenerate and will  need to be replaced.  The overall oil leak was about 1' wide.  The concentrated line on the left is where I came on the green and then stopped.  The line on the right is where I backed off of the green.  If the oil was not concentrated, there might be a chance that some of the turf will be okay.
