Posted by Andrew If you can take pictures of the turf, then extract a plug, seperate a few individual plants and take a macro shot and post for possible diagnosis. Most of all reduce all events that will have a negative effect or are injurous ie. mowing, topdressing, over irrigation, fertilizing etc. Rotate fungicide applications as required.

Soil sample past analysis for reference using any good turf lab is always a good idea, watch watering carefully, too much especially with some diseases may cause a premature end, keep soil moist and watch for signs of wilt before applying water, two - three times daily is most likely far too much.
