The Harvey 9 out there is a joke. They need to abandon that and pump that money into the actual course. It’s actually improved since pre Covid conditions if you can believe it.

Greens are atrocious, very thin and covered in poa annua..I thought they used to be able to spray and kill the invasive grass

Poa Annua has become resistant to many of the pesticides we have in our aresenal. so has the Goose grass that plagues greens and collars in the summer / fall time frame. there aren't a lot of options out there that are labeled for greens that work anymore, and the few that are are very expensive or are resistant. it will become a bigger issue year after year until a new pesticide comes out that controls it.

I was able to talk to the golf course superintendent and he told me that the Poa Annua is resistant to the herbicides that they can spray on the greens. This seems to be an issue at some other clubs we have played. I guess golf courses will go back to overseeding greens for the winter.

That’s disappointing to hear. I’ve played there a lot in the past but haven’t played there in about a year
