Spring snowmold

    Usually I see a little bit of snowmold in the spring after the winter snowmold app wears off and before I start treating for dollar spot. This year seems to be much worse than usual but it's pink snowmold and doesn't appear to actually kill the turf just makes it decline. I'm trying to decide if it's worth a fungicide app in the fairways or if I should just wait for it to warm up and dry out. The weather conditions for the next 10 days are mostly highs in the mid to upper 50's and the lows are in the 30's and 40's. Any thoughts?

    I would knock it out now. The more it has a chance to "live" the more spores it has a chance to release. Which in turn will add to your pressure next year if the right conditions are present. Just my two cent.
