Snow Mold

We have finally thawed out enough to see a few of our fairways. After such an intense winter, we were very nervous about the condition of the turf. While a majority of the fairways survived the winter unscathed, a few did not fair as well.

These fairways contracted a nasty case of Pink Snow Mold. This disease is a very common occurrence when any grass is under snow cover for a prolonged amount of time. We are fortunate that the damage that the disease causes is both cosmetic and temporary. We are happy to report that the affected fairways have already nearly recovered.
