Winter Preemergent Completed

Since this past Monday Greg and I sprayed the entire golf course with a premergence for winter weed control. Spraying the entire golf course takes quite awhile, due to the fact we are spraying at a lighting fast pace of 4.6 mph. It would take up to 40 hours to spray the course if we only had one sprayer like we have had in the past. Since we purchased a second sprayer a few years ago it cuts the spraying time in half and saves one of us from going crazy having to drive so long at such a slow speed. If you notice any red lines on the turf throughout the course, that was from us marking areas that still needed to be sprayed. By not overseeding again this year it allowed us to use a chemical that cannot be sprayed if you plan on overseeding. This will benefit us greatly throughout the winter when we have a nice clean golf course.
