Battling kyllinga...

Kyllinga is a grassy weed from the sedge family. It thrives in warm, moist climates and poorly drained soils. It has a rhizomatous and stoloniferous growth habit. These stolons and rhizomes will intertwine and create thick mats that will choke out the competing and more desirable turf.
The maintenance staff will apply multiple applications of a selective herbicide at a low rate throughout the growing season to keep this invasive weed from gaining a stronghold in our fairways, approaches and tees.
You may notice some discolored spots around the golf course over the next few weeks as we are making these applications to keep this pesky weed out of our playing surfaces.
