Since 1990, the Founders 18-hole championship course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., has consistently ranked among the best modern golf courses in the nation. But actions speak louder than awards for Chenal Country Club’s private members and course crew who have taken joint responsibility for sustaining the healthy greens and fairways.

Two years ago head superintendent, Jed Spencer, began hosting a Golf Course Open House, sponsored by the Greens Committee, to educate the club’s members about the science, process and products that go into keeping turf in excellent playing shape. Spencer even touches upon plant pathology, explaining how problematic pest pressure may kill players’ golf scores.

When a pythium outbreak hit The Founders Course’s greens, Spencer turned to Insignia® fungicide for broad spectrum control and curative knock down. He incorporates Insignia in his rotation every 28 days during summer months at a rate of 0.9 ounces per 1,000 square feet.

“For the past two years, Insignia has been a great staple for us for both new, emerging diseases and hard-to-diagnose pythium strands,” Spencer said. “Insignia suppresses and cures nagging outbreaks, helping us keep all our bases covered.”
