If that is the case then why would it kill off the greens here? I know it's bumpier but didn't think it would kill the Bermuda.

Just curious.

Poa is not a bad grass and supplements the bent grass we had up north. Actually it is very hearty and does well in cooler weather. In the spring it goes to seed and the seed heads pop up in the afternoon creating a different experience. When soil temps rise so that bermuda or bent can grow the Poa is taken over by the dominant grasses. After the ealy seeding it just blends in. Strange to see it this time of year but as warm as it has been with relatively few frosts it is understandable. It was all over Hawkes Bay last week late in the PM. It is not a problem even though I know of high end courses up north that had a 5 year Poa Annua eradication plan....
