Algae Update

We have noticed the development of Black Algae on some of our greens. Black Algae invades certain spots on our greens during times of cloudy, wet weather. We are taking steps to reduce the amount of algae by applying algaecides. We will also reduce the amount of algae through our usual cultural practices like verticutting, aerification, and topdressing. These practices will all help to improve the density of our greens which will reduce the amount of algae on them.
