This week, we began spraying Roundup on the Bermuda patches that have contaminated the Zoysia Approaches next to the greens. We will be making 2-3 applications of herbicide to completely kill the Bermuda before sodding with new Zoysia turf. Over the next few days, you will see patches of turf in the approaches begin to turn yellow before eventually dieing.

| Bermuda contamination on #1 approach |
The majority of our fairways are kept (mostly) free of Bermuda with our monthly application of herbicides that severely limit the growth of Bermuda. Unfortunately, our most critical areas around the greens are also the most difficult to reach with the sprayer. We have found our best option is killing and reestablishing our edges with sod.
On another note, it looks like we are going to be dealing with severe weather over the next few days. We've already had over 3/4" of rain today and more is expected. We are in the Bulls-eye for potential severe weather along with tornadoes for Friday and into Saturday.
