What is Really There

11's Fairway

As members (for the most part) grass is grass, and green is green.  In the picture above you see a nicely filled in area of a mixture of ryegrass and bermudagrass.  So the perception is that the fairways are doing great and look great.

11's Fairway

Now the picture is where the ryegrass has died do to excessive heat and transition.  The perception is that the golf course is dying.  But look again ... the bermudagrass is perfectly healthy and thriving.  This is transition.  One grass (the ryegrass) has to die so the other can fill back in (bermudagrass). 

There is only one way to avoid this fact ... not overseed.  But this isn't the solution.
