Each fall we spray certain areas of our turf as a preventative measure against snow mold. While we could "prepare for the worst and hope for the best", that would not be prudent with regards to following sound Integrated Pest Management practices, nor would it be economically smart. Instead, we take an approach that prepares us for an average winter snowfall. We have many areas throughout the course which hold snow a majority of the winter and we treat these areas to prepare for that. On a winter like we have experienced in 2011-2012, MOST of the course held snow all winter which means we will have an above average incidence of snowmold. As you can see from the photo above, the area that is green was sprayed and you can see where the sprayer was shut off as well as the surrounding snowmold.
