Title:It has been suggested that we patch the bare spots in our fields with bermuda this summer. The balance of the field is mostly bluegrass which gets quite a lot of crabgrass and goosegrass later in the summer. If we patch the bare spots, will we not have ugly looking brown patches this fall for our playing season?
