   Just wandering if anyone has experienced Monument tracking on greens? I have seen it first hand in the past couple of days showing up even though it was applied 3 weeks ago. I was just wandering what to expect, Dead Turf or just the yellowing i am starting to see? Does anyone have any suggestions? or do I need to get ready to sod.
   Thanks,

   Lee,
   I have seen it in the past and as you stated an awful lemon yellow color that I grew out of over a 6 to 8 week peroid. I did aerify with solid quarter inch tines, charcoal, and seed. Also increased the fertility levels for those areas.

   Stephen thanks for the input I have been in contact with Syngenta this morning and they say fertility actually could be bad, or enhance the problem.

   Sod or plug it out. You will be looking at it too long and wishing it back to health.

   Lee:
   Never had any tracking issues (shoes,feet) but I have had it move after a big rain onto a green. If its yellow I would replace it now. If it was fall I might wait and see but not spring at least in my case at least.

   Issue at this facility before I got here involved revolver in the morning and gully washer in the afternoon. Death and destruction on a number of greens. It seemed to ease up after some change in the weather but came back after some July heat struck. We had to do some pretty extensive plugging a couple of months later. I think you might of had some movement or tracking within a few days after application and did not notice it as much. It takes a little bit for it to show but when it does, its pretty ugly. Good luck.

   Just had an issue with Revolver around my greens tracking. Wasnt noticable till 3 weeks later when warm weather stressed it out. This week I cant even notice it anymore, so I dodged a bullet. I did go out with Iron and Promote 4-0-1. Masked the yellowing a bit, but ended up rolling greens for 3 days to let them grow.
