Dollar spot in December...

To a kid, any mention of dollar in the month of December will probably bring about smiles and some form of giddiness... But to a turf guy, dollar spot in this month means some sort of weather anomaly.  Generally speaking, the last dollar spot application will come around Halloween, not Christmas.

The sprayer is out today (14Dec2015) making an application for those spots you see in the picture just in front of the boom.

It was in the upper 50's to low 60's this morning with the dew point about the same. Anytime the dew points are able to reach that level for a few nights in a row, dollar spot will occur in this region. 

I still believe winter will be here in the next couple of weeks but get out and enjoy this weather while you can. Maybe it's an early Christmas present!

Who'd a thunk it???

Still mowing greens and getting BUCKETS FULL of grass on 02Dec2015!!!

With the higher than average temperatures and a warm rain over the past few days, the turf is still growing strong. The weather pattern doesn't look like it is going to change anytime soon.

We will continue to monitor the growth rates and determine our mowing schedule accordingly. I still think winter will have its turn but it is nice that it is taking its sweet little time getting here!
