Name that cause!

It seems the summer is finally catching up to us a little bit.  Some of the fairways were hit this past week with two different types of fungus - anthracnose and pythium.  You will see the most damage on 3 and 16 were the fairways narrow by the fairway bunkers.  All the traffic comes through these areas and puts a lot of stress on the plants.  We have treated all of the fairways with a curative application and with the help of some cooler temps, they will recover.  Overall the course still looks great and is hanging in there.
