Glad to hear. Nice recovery from Saturday sounds like, although we all bombed the crap out of parts of Latour. Some holes probably will be closed due to repair for the next week or so

I work 5 min from Vieux and never play there. I usually go to the Wetlands or drive to the berry to play Squirrel. Atchafalaya is a beast from the tips when the greens are good its a great track

I like SR, but they clubhouse has been really shitty the last 2 times i've gone as far as not telling you that their greens are being resurfaced, or being worked. I have wasted money on green fees because of it. I also like Spanish Trail.

The greens are almost beyond repair. I think Bamafan would have to look and give an expert opinion. But they are all almost covered in Pauana. (Sp)
Didn't take one putt yesterday that didn't have an issue with infestation. They're covered.

Poa annua
Scientific name for annual bluegrass. If you ever play bentgrass greens, there's a good chance that the green is 50% bent and 50% poa. Northern courses fight poa year round.
Pebble uses poa for greens. For us in the south, it's a winter weed. It's become resistant to some herbicides, including some cases of glyphosate (roundup) resistant poa.

It usually goes away by time it warms up. How does that stuff come to getting on greens in south la? Snatch greens just don't do winter very well. They are also too soft. You almost feel like you are tearing them up when you walk on them. Especially in winter when the just never seem to dry.

I remember playing Torrey Pines a few years ago and it was set up for a WPGA tourney in the following week or so and those greens were an absolute mystery.

LaTour's greens should be receptive today and roll true as always. I am excite

They have that "sponge" feel, I'm told its a disease in the soil,who knows, maybe Bama can chime in.

You can never get the speed right.
No consistency from green to green.

Little guh working the bar at Atchafalaya when I played there last fall had a great arse but a horrible Morgan City accent.

Do they feel wet? Drainage issues plus built up thatch maybe. Thatch is what gives grass that spongy feeling and "cushion".
Both drainage issues and thatch create conditions more susceptible to disease.

Thatch is what it is, couldn't remember the name, every step feels like you are destroying them.

Why did this get moved to the OT?
Posted on 2/17/15 at 11:33 am to BRgetthenet
Exactly. 8 feet past or 4 feet short every time.
Posted on 2/17/15 at 12:26 pm to Front9Bandit
Agressive verticutting, topdressing, and aerifying helps control thatch.
Thatch is the buildup of dead grass between the soil and the surface. New bermuda cultivars used on greens can become very thatchy.
