You will notice the orange color on our fairways and some areas that are thinned out a bit. This is damage from the annual bluegrass weevil that effects poa plants. We are aggressive with growth regulators on fairways and you will see yellow grass, that is the poa plants. We allow the weevils to eat a little each spring to lower the poa populations and allow the bent to take over. We also spike and seed bent in some areas where there are lower populations of bent to allow more to eventually take hold. Our populations of bent have significantly increased over the past few years. That is why it is better to allow this to happen and our fairways will be that much better in the summer months.
