I’d say anthracnose on Poa is fairly active at this stage of summer. Treated vs. non.

Seeing and hearing reports of considerable Ascochyta blight activity. This disease is ramped up by excess moisture. All lawns had in ground irrigation turned on in the last two weeks. Cosmetic and will go away, but extremely conspicuous.

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.
