You may have noticed the yellowish blotches on the greens. These blotches are pearlwort. Pearlwort is a herbaceous perennial that is often found in putting greens across the northern half of the country. It looks very similar to Annual Bluegrass (our predominant grass on the greens) and is difficult to distinguish the two until you know what to look for.
This spring we applied a fungicide call Rubigan to slowly remove the plant from our greens, but it seems to be working a little faster than expected. 2 to 3 applications were planned, but after some deliberation, we have decided to wait until this fall to continue the applications.
