dollar spot in the rise

Dollar spot is picking up. Just in the last 5-days I've heard a significantly increased chatter about dollar spot in putting greens, and the other day a sample came in with dollar spot in a fairway. So, the season begins.

We've had cool, wet weather but starting tomorrow temps will surge into the 90's. I'm worried about the stress implications of that. I think rootzones have been saturated in some places and a sudden surge to hot/dry could cause problems.

Just south of here, Oklahoma has been hammered with nasty weather including hail.

Here's one example:

I saw some photos of hail damage in a putting green where the the whole thing was marked with hail-divots. Big mess. Since I did not receive the pics directly from the photographer I'm hesitant to post them, though. I remember when we had baseball-to-softball sized hail here in northeast Kansas 2 years ago and several courses had a lot of work to do to work those dents out.

Finally, large patch is still evident at many sites, and spring dead spot too.
