Fall Fungicide and Herbicide Programs

Other practices that may be noticed is implementing our fall fungicide and fall herbicide program.  Every October preventative fungicides are applied to the putting greens for the hopeful control of winter and spring turf diseases.  Then in late November all turf is treated with preemergent herbicides for the control of winter weeds.

This is also the time of year when more time is dedicated to plant bed management.  In October as always we will rotate our annual plantings in conjunction with the fall season.

Finally before the month of October is over, I plan to have the trees surrounding greens 11, 15, and 16 trimmed.

Everything the maintenance staff does, from plant bed management to managing putting greens for maximum performance revolves around seasonal climate changes.  Of course, our goal is to implement these practices and seasonal changes for the enjoyment of every member at RBCC.
