What is it?
I have been asked several times, "What are those dead spots on the greens next to the collars?"
These areas are where we sprayed bermudagrass that was encroaching on the greens. Our greens are mostly a combination of bentgrass and Poa Annua . Some golf courses have bermudagrass greens, but we don't want this grass invading our greens. Bermudagrass loves the heat and spreads rapidly during the summer months. We use a selective herbicide specifically designed to kill bermudagrass. You may notice the bentgrass and poa yellowing or becoming discolored, but it will heal with time.
