| Question: | "Our club is scheduled to renovate the greens and collars this year. We have observed other course renovation where the bermudagrass collar encroached several inches into the new greens before they were even opened. Surely, there is a technique that can prevent this problem. Encroachment is one of the reasons we are resurfacing in the first place." |

| Answer/Response: | "Encroachment during grow-in is a major problem that, quite frankly, is very seldom managed as aggresively as needed. Often, it's accepted as inevitable by many courses. After the collar is sodded, apply a band of glyphosate about 2 inches wide on the inside edge next to the green. This prevents runner/rhizome encroachment during establishment, yet the banded area will completely grow back before the bentgrass seeding or bermudagrass sprigging matures. Often, two applications at 30-day intervals are needed to prevent regrowth during green establishment. This process works well for bermudagrass or zoysiagrass collars." |
