REGIONAL UPDATES The USGA Green Section is divided into four regions staffed by agronomists who work with golf facilities on care of the golf course. USGA agronomists provide regular regional updates outlining current issues and observations from the field. Be sure to view updates from multiple regions as featured ideas, techniques and solutions to problems often apply to other parts of the country. NORTHEAST REGION Whether your course is recovering from winter damage, applying preemergence herbicides or preparing for annual bluegrass weevils, this week's regional update will help you prepare for another successful golf season. Read More SOUTHEAST REGION Warm-season grasses are emerging from dormancy in much of the Southeast Region. However, winter annual weeds also are flourishing. Developing a well-planned weed management program will improve weed control and minimize the risk of developing herbicide-resistant weed populations. Read More WEST REGION As a follow-up to the last regional update from the West Region, this week's regional update video details the results one golf course was able to achieve by using an aggressive fraze mowing strategy to improve fairway playing conditions. Read More CENTRAL REGION Spring is a great time to develop and fine tune soil moisture monitoring programs that can help manage water use and identify potential issues with automatic irrigation systems throughout the year. Spending time now will pay dividends during periods of summer stress.

Diseases are extremely variable and so too are disease-control options that often constitute a significant portion of golf course maintenance budgets.
