Atchafalaya Golf Course

Heard today that Atchafalaya is going to try and resurface greens this summer with some kind of a seeded grass. Hope it works.

I spoke to a friend who works out there and said they made one application of MSMA a few weeks ago and will did another application yesterday. This should kill all but the bermuda which will turn brown, but not die. I think they plan on going back with Champions plugs soon. Apparently they found some money somewhere, or at least enough to try this.

Per their FB Post:
The Atchafalaya Golf Commission has been working closely with our agronomic consultant over the last nine months to develop a protocol for inter-seeding our putting greens with Pure Dynasty Seeded Paspalum (Paspalum), which will eventually replace the Champions Bermuda now in their 22nd growing season. Weather conditions are now favorable to begin implementing our plan. The initial herbicide application to control competing grasses and sedges began the first week of May. A second herbicide application will be made the week of May 18th. These herbicide applications will cause the existing greens to turn off-color, but the Champions Bermuda should begin to recover by early June.
Site preparation of the greens to receive the Paspalum seed will begin the first week of June, and inter-seeding with Paspalum seed is scheduled for the third week of June. Depending upon ambient temperatures and cloud cover, the Paspalum seed should begin to germinate by the second week of July.
We anticipate minimal impacts to the putting surface during this transition, which will take the remainder of the current growing season. This conversion will temporarily affect the overall condition of the greens, but rest assured, our plan includes proactive measures to mitigate any negative effects on the putting surfaces during the conversion to Paspalum.
We are excited about this project and ask for your patience and support as we continue to strive to make the Atchafalaya the best it can be.

Sounds like what belle terre did, seeding paspalum.
Pelican sprigged their greens to platinum paspalum due to the complete rebuild.
Always enjoyed Atchafalaya !

Playing a 2-man there on 6/12, what do you think the condition will be of the greens around that time?
