If I could carry the energy and drive I have in the mornings for an entire day I would always be on top of things. As it is, by the time afternoon rolls around my ambitions seemed to have been tempered a bit so hence the reason for few posts over the past couple weeks. I guess things are also running even keel which is always good news.
What to note as of late? As
it turns out things haven’t dried out like I thought and we are only a couple
of week away from having to back the water off because of the cooler nights and
shorter days. The river is dropping but
not a topic of conversation for a few weeks yet. Maybe the only thing to discuss may be the
little black bugs on the greens. BTA or
Black Turfgrass Ataenius is what your
seeing.

Go here for detailed info if you are so inclined but
if you don’t just realize that, as a general rule, BTA are not a big deal and
unless there is a bug population around 40-50 per square foot there is no real
need to treat for them. That being said don’t
be afraid to squish them with your putter!
