The Right Turf

I saw this riding the course yesterday and had to take a picture of it.  The picture is of the driving range field near a new target green we built.  The right side of the picture shows the existing grass that is on the range and the left side of the picture shows the new bluegrass sod we laid around the green.  The old turf (mainly bentgrass and poa and rye) is inundated with the fungus dollar spot and is thinned out.  The left side is untouched.  The range field receives no fungicide treatments during the year so this goes to show you how important it is to have the right grass for the right application.  A lot of our roughs on the course are comprised of bentgrass and poa as well and need several fungicide applications throughout the summer months, which is very expensive.
