Bermuda Contamination Elimination Trial 2011

Bermuda grass is becoming fairly evident throughout the golf course. Every part of the golf course has been contaminated with the unwanted grass. In a effort to test how effective round-up herbicide is on complete kill of the bermuda, several test areas in the roughs have been treated. The test areas are on hole #6- in the right rough and hole #16- in the left rough. Photos will be posted to document the progress of the trial.
