Improving Green Surfaces

When we began our contract for Golf Course Maintenance in March, the greens contained high populations of Poa annua, algae, and moss (as indicated in the photo of #6 green).  The seven year old Bentgrass was still present as a base, but was smothered within the gooey poa turfgrass canopy.   The agronomic and cultural programs in place where favoring the establishment of poa and limiting the Bentgrass' ability to compete.  Within months of implementing the Greenway management systems the Bentgrass began to outcompete the poa and moss and re-establish itself as the dominant turfgrass surface species.  The photos below show the turf quality at the beginning of March and then again in September.
 
NOTE:  No chemical treatments were applied in conjunction with the transformation.
