Poa annua

The Poa annua on the grass courts is in the flowering stage right now. See this post for an explanation:
http://lccgrounds.blogspot.com/2009/05/flowering-grass.html

Also a little bit of fungus has popped up. We used the "don't do anything and wait" fungicide and it worked well. The brown ring spot was gone in a few days as the grass grew out of the damage - no action needed.

I love the ddaaw plan (don't do anything and wait) - I've seen a lot of it at companies over the years.

It should be the mantra for the LCC building - I Just don't want to be here when it happens!

Only kidding, of course - tough to keep a classic alive and in shape - kind of like Paul and Larry.

Ha

(bet Larry takes it out on me during my next lesson).

Cheers to all

The first photo looks like Gumby wandered onto a court and got squashed.
