Guys and Gals,
Please take a close look at these pictures. In my 30+ years I have never had this happen to me.
Verticut on Monday, 2.5 lb/m 18-9-18 on Tuesday, cycle soak irrigation run that night. Next morning while mowing I noticed turf around cup looking a little stressed. By the time I made it back to this hole for minor hand watering at 11:30, the area looked like it was burning up. Moisture in soil was fine but I went ahead and syringed it a couple of times while hitting the areas that needed the h2o. Came back to it around 2 and the area had turned straw color and there are bare foot foot prints all over the green. My only guess is they were sitting at the cup while spraying themselves with bug spray sometime thru the night. The dew and no sun would allow the spray to stay active longer. This is mini-verde and I'm praying it will grow out before our member guest in a couple of weeks, if not, then I'll have to paint it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
