Transition in Fairways & Greens

Areas to Have Plug Repair


Tifdrawf Runners Filling in the Void
The two above pictures show the 5th green and the plug repairs that we are performing during this week and why.  The blue dots are areas that will fill in but not as quickly as I would desire.  The second shot shows the runners filling in the hole ... this is ideal.
As the temperatures rise and the humidity increases, the ryegrass dies out leaving "voids" that will be filled in by bermudagrass.

In the two pictures above you can noticeably see the effects of the area with ryegrass not allowing the bermudagrass runners to fill in the upcoming voids.  In the second picture where the ryegrass has died the runners quickly fill in these areas thus leading to complete transition.
