Notes

4-30-03

As it turned out spring was about 3 weeks late and set the initial part of the program back as soil temperatures were slow to  climb to proper levels.

6-2-03

It's turned out to be a very wet, late season. The schedule has been adjusted already. The application of broad spectrum pre-emergent was delayed in order to give seed time to germinate. We had Dollar Spot appear in the greens and fairways. Besides applying fungicide at preventative rates we have had to reapply at a curative rate.
