18 & 16 greens Dollar Spot

Dollar spot is one of those nuisance turfgrass diseases, very simar to
the common cold. By utilizing a strong IPM program we can keep this
disease to a minimum, but sometimes no matter what we do it shows it's
ugly face. This is the situation with 18 & 16 greens. We literally had
an explosion of dollar spot over night(pictured above).

Despite the look of these two greens, I have no concern. We were due
for our biweekly greens spray yesterday. We increased the amount of
curative plant protectant for these two greens along with the addition
of some fertlizer. As long as we can get the disease in check over the
next few days, thunderstorms and rain will make this a bit difficult,
we should see recovery by next week.
