I agree that Mully Grass is a crappy way to define a course and the torpedo grass has taken over a lot of the mully and the waste bunkers. Yes staffing has been an issue and the waste bunkers got out of hand. We are working on that presently. as far as the bathrooms go, I know the ones on the cou...

re: Reasonably priced pre-emergent for Bermuda
Posted by leblanc272 on 9/29/23 at 8:17 am
you can mix the simazine and the prodiamine. thats what a lot of us do on Bermuda grass golf courses. I use spectilce in the fall with simazine because specticle doesn't stop Annual Blue Eyed grass and simizine does. I do split apps add the simizine in the second app usually in November or early ...

Posted by leblanc272 on 6/13/23 at 12:52 pm

Posted by leblanc272 on 6/12/23 at 8:00 am
Golf greens that are built to USGA spec are 10-12" sand with a peat or profile product mix either 90/10 or 80/20 mix. California style greens are straight sand. this provides a firm base that drains well. I water greens every other night as well as every other part of my golf course. I rotate gr...
