Summer brings a lot of stress to cool season turf. As I mentioned before weed control is one of the trickiest applications we make. Here is a spot spray on crabgrass that burned 7 tee Seaside.
The second photo shows proof the days are getting shorter. Bermudagrass begins to puff up and scalp. Mowing heights are slowly raised as fall approaches.
The greens are the wettest in the summer. The water in the soil does not evaporate much during high humidity of summer. We are trying our best to maintain 15% moisture in the greens, but it is difficult. The result is more susceptibility to hallmarks. Many are going unrepaired by players. If everyone repaired their hallmark and one additional, it would really help the greens thru the summer stress period.
