April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.
I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day 21 my focus is on a common golf course FUNGUS.
“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge
Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.
It looks like this.

April 21st-Golf Course Fungus
There is a group of us who each morning walks 18 holes at our local golf course. We begin each round depending on the temperature close to daybreak. We have dubbed ourselves the “Lumberton Dew Sweepers“.
What we will see on the fairways before the sun dries out the grass is seen below. They are everywhere many about the size of a round silver dollar. We had speculated for years that they were a web crafted by a spider. We soon learned we had no career in Arachnology.
Those spider webs we thought we saw in the dew are actually Dollar Spot Fungus. It is a fungal disease that affects turfgrass, causing small, circular patches of bleached grass.
- Dollar spot fungus is caused by two species of fungi: Sclerotinia homoeocarpa and Clarireedia jacksonii.
- The disease gets its name from the small, silver-dollar-sized spots it creates on turfgrass, which can merge together to form larger patches.
- Dollar spot fungus is most commonly found on fine-textured turfgrass species like bentgrass and fescue, but it can also affect Bermuda grass and zoysia grass in warmer regions.
