Purdue Turfgrass Disease Report posted - Green flag for dollar spot; lawn irrigation = Ascochyta; seedheads a drag; clippings don't need a bag, but still require management.

Tis a fine morning to water in fungicides on a putting green.

Rare uptick in $ spot potential indicated by the Smith Kerns model this morning. If your last application on bentgrass was a contact or in early Oct., consider scouting for damage and perhaps putting out a strong preventive to go into winter clean.
