Above is an image of #1 Forward Tee which has a mottled appearance. This has been common throughout the Tees this Spring. The dryer and warmer than usual winter was very difficult for the bentgrass, and although we watered throughout the winter, the early spring appearance is a bit off color. Below is a close-up image which does show green growth within the straw-colored dormant turf. Soil temperatures on this day were 46 Degrees with air temperatures near 60 at 2:00PM. Not quite warm enough to expect active growth. These Tees will be aerated by the end of the week, just in time for more snow!
