    Also thank you to Syngenta for choosing toadvertise in our monthly news letter. Weappreciate your support. NOGCSA has manythings to do, please take the time and be a part ofyour association and support it. The NOGCSA isonly as good as its members. See you soon.

    Effective immediately; it is no longer necessary

    for Class C members and Associate categories to

    be members of GCSAA in order to be a member

    or apply for membership to NOGCSA. This

    change to the bylaws was done to encourage

    membership of individuals in these categories in

    our local association. It was determined by the

    board, that for these Classes, the requirement of

    dual membership was too large a financial

    burden. It is the hope of the Board that this

    change will encourage individuals new to our

    profession to join our chapter, remaining active

    and involved members throughout their careers.

    Extended periods of cool, wet spring weather this year has

    triggered extensive leaf spot on lawns. This is a troublesome

    spring diseases on Kentucky bluegrass (especially common

    bluegrasses), fescues and other lawn grasses. Some leaf spot ca

    be found on most home lawns in the spring, but it normally doe

    not cause significant damage to the lawn. This year due to the

    weather conditions leaf spot has occurred and now in

    progressing into the melting-out phase. Leaf spot is caused by

    several different fungi. The fungus overwinters in the thatch

    layer or in small lesions on leaf blades.

    In spring, the fungus infects young succulent leaf tissue and

    causes the development of small elliptical dark colored spots.

    The spots eventually turn light tan but remain bordered by a

    dark brown outer edge. The leaf spot phase of the disease

    usually does not damage the plant significantly. However, duringcontinuous cool, wet conditions, the fungus invades the leaf

    sheath and crown. The fungus also may invade the crown,

    rhizomes, and roots. As daytime temperatures increase, leaves

    on crown- infected plants begin to turn light green or yellow,

    similar to nitrogen deficient turf. Eventually these plants die and

    turn brown or straw colored. This is referred to as the melting-

    out phase of the disease.

    Severe melting-out can result in irregular patches of dead turf.

    Damaged lawns often appear "thin" or uneven and tend to have

    weed problems. Excess thatch, heavy spring nitrogen fertilizing,

    excess shade, mowing too close and excessive herbicide

    applications can promote leaf spot and melting out.

    Maintenance procedures to help manage leaf spot & melting

    out.

    Mow the turf high (2.5 - 3 inches) to provide leavesthat produce food for the plant and maintain a healthier

    lawn.

    Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization in spring whichpromotes lush growth. The use of fall and late fall

    fertilization is recommended. Once in the melting out

    phase maintain the lawn with a complete fertilizer at

    modest rate to encourage healthy turf and recovery.

    Often a starter fertilizer is recommended.

    Do not over water the turf if the lawn is irrigated.

    Manage thatch by frequent and heavy core cultivation

    (aeration) of the lawn. This will also promote a deeper

    healthier deeper root system.

    Plant resistant cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass. For

    information on these refer to the National TurfgrassEvaluation Program

    Fungicides can be applied but for best results need tobe made early in the disease cycle or as a preventative

    treatment. This is done based on a history of the disease

    in the lawn. Unfortunately the most effective fungicides

    are no longer registered for use on residential lawns.

    Jacobsen Dealer Donates Greens Mower to

    The Ohio State University

    Charlotte, N.C. (June 7, 2013)Jacobsen dealer Baker

    Vehicle Systems recently donated a new Jacobsen ECLIPSE

    walking greens mowers to The Ohio State University

    (OSU).

    Universities with horticulture programs like OSU typically

    manage large turf plots that need to be maintained with

    the same professional equipment used on golf courses

    and sports fields. Not only do the donations take some of

    the financial burden of turf maintenance off the schools, it

    also gives students the opportunity to operate some of

    the most advanced pieces of turf equipment on the

    market today.

    At The Ohio State Universitys Turfgrass Science Program,

    our classes revolve around what professionals say youllneed to succeed as a turfgrass manager, said Dr. Karl

    Danneberger, Professor of Horticulture & Crop Science at

    The Ohio State University. Giving our students access to

    professional Jacobsen equipment really shortens the

    learning curve by giving them a real-life taste of what

    theyll be doing in the field.

    Jacobsen ECLIPSE walking and riding greens mowers are

    the only products to feature variable frequency-of-clip,

    onboard backlapping and a choice of either hybrid or

    battery drive. The advanced technology of ECLIPSE

    mowers allows turf managers to reduce the amount of

    stress on their turf, especially when mowing greens.

    We have long believed that supporting educationbenefits the industry as a whole, said David Withers,

    President of Jacobsen. We will continue to support

    education through equipment donations, scholarship

    programs and special events like our Future Turf

    Managers seminar in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier thi

    year.

    THE WEATHER MUST COOPERATE FOR TURF TO RESPONDBy Bob Vavrek, senior agronomist, North-Central Region

    May 28, 2013

    Frost and cool temperatures are still limiting turfgrowth at courses throughout the states of the

    North-Central Region. As a result, dandelions and

    knotweed find little competition in slow growing

    fairways and roughs, especially in areas that were

    already thin due to winterkill. Frustration increases

    when standard herbicide treatments are made to

    control dandelions only to see some curling

    followed by rapid recovery of weeds. This is a good

    time to spend a bit more for combination herbicides

    with carfentrazone as one of the active ingredients

    due to the increased activity at low temperatures.Golfers have had a frustrating spring compared to

    the extra-early start to play last season and there is

    nothing like a dead weed to remind them that

    maintenance operations are on the ball more so

    when they return home to see more yellow flowers

    than turf in their home lawns. Zoysia Patch can be difficult to control. However,

    aeration will speed turf recovery and surface quality

    will be reestablished.

    In the southern portion of the region warm season

    turf growth is also slow. Zoysia Patch has been an

    issue and Spring Dead Spot on bermudagrass has

    been slow to heal. Soil temperatures will increase

    and the turf will respond. Aeration will help. Slice

    aeration can be used to promote recovery of both

    grasses.

    Mohican Hills Golf Club is located in the rolling hills

    of Ashland County near Jeromesville, OH. This

    eighteen hole championship course was designed

    by Jack Kidwell and a young Mike Hurdzan,

    renowned Columbus based architects. They are

    best known for their player friendly golf coursedesigns. The front nine was open for play in 1972

    and the back nine was later opened in the Spring of

    1976.

    The course features picturesque views with four

    sets of tees accommodating players of all

    levels. The front nine greens are large and

    undulating giving the golfer a favorable chance to

    reach the green in regulation. This is where the test

    of Mohican BEGINS!! The golf course is known

    throughout the area for fast challenging greens thatcan humble the best of putters. The smaller back

    nine greens have the same undulating features of

    the front, but require more accurate shot selection.

    Mohican Hills also features 25 acres of open, player

    friendly fairways. They are contoured and

    maintained at 5/8" for optimum playing

    conditions.

    The golf course has 18 large strategically placed

    bunkers throughout the course to add to the golfer's

    challenge. Water features at the golf course include

    ponds at #1, #2, #5, #15, and #17 with an active

    stream running throughout the back nine. For

    added golfer appeal, numerous perennial gardens

    and ornamental grasses are sprinkled throughout

    the golf course.

    Our friendly clubhouse staff offers a wide variety of

    assorted sandwiches, fountain drinks and beer is

    available. The clubhouse is also stocked with a

    variety of golf balls, gloves, hats etc..

    Mohican Hills also offers a enclosed pavilion with a

    capacity of 150 people to accommodate outings. To

    schedule the facility please contact the pro shop.

    For every golfer to warm up or hone their skills, a

    practice putting/chipping green is located beside

    the clubhouse and a 250 yard driving range is

    located near the maintenance building.

    Mohican Hills Golf Course is known for undulating

    greens and was voted Ohios Best Public Course in

    2008 and received a four star rating from Golf

    Digest.
