What are those dead lines in the rough?

Members will notice yellow stripes in certain areas of the rough on the south course that resemble a hydraulic leak from a piece of equipment, but these lines have been intentionally killed with Round-Up, a non-selective herbicide.  These lines were killed to indicate the new native Fescue seeding areas that were marked by our Golf Course Architect, Brian Huntley during his last visit to the club.  In a few weeks, these areas inside the yellow lines will be killed entirely with round-up and seeded with our chosen Fescue varieties.  Germination will be seen this season but it will take 3-5 years to reach it's peak and look it's best.  Most likely it will go to seed and look beautiful the second or third year.
