'Rescue'ing the surrounds

Today we sprayed most of the surrounds on the course with Rescue, a selective herbicide that removes Rye grass from turf. We sprayed 10 surrounds last year with amazing results. This year we have sprayed another 12 surrounds plus the ones from last year as to ensure all Ryegrass in controlled and will not grow back. 1 - 8 surrounds have always been the worst so all those have been done this time along with 11, 13, 17 and 22, obviously when the Ryegrass starts to die away there will be a number of areas which don't look there best, fortunately this is a short term problem. To aid recovery we are going to over seed all the surrounds with a bent / fescue mix to ensure the surrounds have good grass coverage in the future. Once the surrounds have  been removed of Ryegrass they will be easier to maintain and be more playable for golfers.
