Poa has started to seed out on the greens. Trimmit is a very aggressive growth regulator that we apply to the greens keeping the poa in check. When the warmer weather is in the forecast we switch to Primo, another regulator. The regulators tend to yellow the poa a little, but the regulators keep the poa from spreading throughout the green.
The bermuda is still taking its time coming out of dormancy. The areas will begin growing once we hit warmer weather and get an organic fertilizer application down.
#5 green is very healthy and we will open the green sometime in May. We still need some time to get the green smooth enough for play. I am very excited about how this green turned out. This was a great project and we are still continuing to make forward momentum on the golf course.
We are topdressing the green as much as the turf can tolerate. We have topdressed the green three times with 4-5 tons of sand every application. It takes a lot of work to get the green smooth and to get the turf acclimated to all the extra maintenance.
