Northeast winter kill...


While winter of 2014-15 was friendlier to my fellow supers in the northeast compared to 2013-14, there are a handful of courses dealing with winter kill issues this spring. The photo above is a course in Eastern Pennsylvania. It's going to be a long year as the only option is to reseed with bentgrass. Poa annua is very susceptible to winter death if it spends too much time under ice, sealed off from oxygen.
