   This past year we overseeded our driving range tee with perennial rye. We had a lot of contamination beyond the edges into our bermuda(also had poa annua outbreak around the edges as well). We tried spot treating throughout the year with Revolver, and we used a plastic board to try and keep clean edges. One of our problems however, is one of the tees is at the bottom of a hill, and we were afraid of spraying that area due to the possibility of it running into the rye. Does anyone have suggestions on how to treat this area and/or suggestions of how they pre-emerge before overseeding for crisp edges throughout the year?

   We drop spread a pass of XL around the perimeters of all overseeded areas at 100#/ac. Provides that crisp and clean edge you are looking for. Barricade at 1.5# a.i. outside of that. We got through about 18 bags of XL each year at roughly $55/bag. This is for outlining roughly 38 acres of fairways and another 7 or so acres of tees, collars and approaches.

   I worked as a regional guy for a management company for a while and I recommended XL for collars to one of my superintendents. He decided to go with Ronstar and fried his collars. In my opinion XL is wonderful for edging overseeded areas.

   I agree. XL is an excellent product.

   I have some shady tee boxes that I would like to overseed this fall with rye. The tee's are Meyers zoysia and one large Bermuda range tee. I am located in central Missouri and I am looking for some methods that people have used with great success. I am interested in seed variety, timing, and transitioning back next year.
   
   Thank you,

   Are you looking to make the ryegrass the permanent turf? If not, then I would definitely not overseed the zoysia. The only time I have had any success killing zoysia is when I overseeded it.

   We have had the same issue with a few of our tees. If your solid on overseeding a good quality Perennial Rye from any of your suppliers slit seeded in a few directions around August has worked for us. Keep it boosted with fertilizer more than your other tees and possible not mowing it during the winter has helped us in some areas. We are in Maryland right outside Washington, DC.
   
   However, what I would look into is actually laying down sod. Like Jeff says, if you want to keep Zoysia then don't over seed it. You may be able to get a solid stand of Zoysia sod to do better depending on other factors. We did this to a tee where it was super shaded and always either too wet or too dry and last year it was amazing.
