Rye, blue, fescue, and bent.


Here (StL), it's:

Tall Fescue (rough)
Zoisia (fairways, tee boxes, & close rough)
Bent (greens)

Sounds very nice!


It is pretty amazing. Although, temps have been trying to wreak havoc with
everything.


Man this has been a very strange growing season thus far up here.

We went from almost record temps and drought this summer, to eight inches
of rain in August so far, from one extreme to the next. Some are flooded in
the Mansfield area.


We've gone from one of the strangest freezes I can remember (around Easter)
to 105F (actual) last week. 100 tomorrow, they say. I'm bettin' on warmer.
=( Rain? Let's see. We got 1/2" last weekend. That was the first
measurable rain in about a month, with upper 90's for temps. Oh, ya, we got
..08" the other night. My bad. g


Chinch bug and dollar spot out the ying-yang now. Too soon to say what the
white grub population will be like. I'm hoping all this rain lately will
slow the chinch down a bit.


Bugs ain't been much of a problem, after some early jap beetles. It's so
****in' hot, *nothing* is stirring, heh.
