Dry spots?

While this is certainly the time of year for dry, brown areas to rear their ugly faces, there may be other things happening to cause these "dry" areas that don't actually involve lack of moisture. Here at Jester Park we have bluegrass tees, farways, rough, and aprons. As a result some of these brown areas you are seeing could potentially be caused by an insect called bluegrass billbug. They feed on the grass plant and effectively cut it off right around ground level. Other things like certain diseases, heavy traffic, other mechanical wear, and so on can all cause these types of areas. We appreciate you patience as we continue through this time of the season!
