Competition is Good

-Bentgrass vs. Poa annua-

We have seen a good percentage of bentgrass germinating in the thin areas of greens that were stressed during the heat this July. The new bentgrass will be highly competitive with the existing Poa annua, and it is much more heat tolerant and disease resistant.

The picture below is of a thin spot on the right front corner of #8 green. The new bentgrass plants have just emerged.
