Mother Nature has finally given us an opportunity to spray for weeds so we went out yesterday en masse to get as much spraying done as possible. We began our spring pre-emergent applications with our spray rig and finished all tees and fairways. We also went out with our tank sprayer and hand sprayed all clubhouse lawns and bunker noses. The pre-emergent herbicide we are applying will keep all weeds from emerging for about 6 months. We are starting to see a lot of patches of grass emerging. This grass is a weed and is called annual bluegrass, or Poa. It is common and the herbicide we are applying will kill this plant even after it has already germinated.
Today we are beginning to spray the rough with pre-emergent and continuing to spot-treat broadleaf weeds. We plan on completing our pre-emergent application by March 1st so we can begin our greens maintenance programs.
