I think we all can agree the fairways on Newport Bay are dramatically improved. In addition to the increased granular fertilizer applications, we have been spraying feed grade urea weekly. With the lower mowing heights and increase in fertilizer, we are encouraging bermudagrass growth. Most of the larger areas we sprayed with Revolver (killing the poa annua and ryegrass) are filling in. We are in the process of plugging and sand topdressing the weakest areas. The above picture shows bermudagrass filling in a spot previously occupied with poa annua. Remember the only fairways we did NOT spray are 18, 17, 13, 11, 8 and the right of 5. Some of these areas will likely be sprigged in the worst areas next year. Our goal is to have some of the finest bermudagrass fairways in the area within the next 2-3 years.
