Clover Control In Fairways and Tees

The above photo is a picture of a patch of clover in the 18th fairway.  Clover is a weed in our bentgrass/poa fairways and tees.  We have recently applied a herbicide that is safe on our fairways but will totally wipe out the clover and any other broadleaf weeds in the playing surfaces.  The clover area will die in a week or two and the surrounding grass will eventually fill in the void left by the clover.  As you are filling in your divot with divot mix in the fairways and see a dead patch, please take a little bigger scoop of sand and fill in the voids you see in the fairways too.
