Another disastrous week for golfing and golf course maintenance. We were lucky enough to get all but 10W fairways mown on Monday while we were able and it pretty much hasn't stopped raining since. The rain forecast seems to get worse every time I look at it and some of the showers we have been getting have been torrential. 90mm from Tuesday am till Friday am which isn't a crazy number for us but it just comes on top of everything else we have had this year.
We have done a few Poa annua control trials around the courses and the rain certainly hasn't helped. One of the more successful ones was on the edge of some of the West greens. We did get a leaf tip burn that has since grown out but we finally got some result with some yellowing of the target plants. When the rain stops we can continue the trials on a wider front. Most of our other trials haven't been successful so the search continues.

Discolouration from the spray.
