What is your first thought when you see this picture? Mine is - the turf looks bad, it needs water and how did it get this way. After looking up from the problem, you will see the cause....
TREES. You will find that there are many trees on this property that were planted too close to the fairways. The roots of these trees are sucking the life out of the turf that is in its path. You may suggest that we apply more water through the irrigation system on compensate for the tree roots.....
The only problem is that just beyond the tree roots, in the middle of the fairway, the turf is too wet. So you will find us from time to time handwatering these spots on the fairways to help them make it through the summer. On a hot, dry summer such as this, expect some turf loss to the grass that gets in the trees way!
