Yes, it's that time of year again. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes are beginning to make their presence felt on the course. It's also time to remind everyone that every year we suffer turf loss on greens, tees and fairways from bug repellants. We urge all members and their guests NOT to apply any bug repellant while standing on turf. Please apply these products while standing on cart paths. When in contact with the turf, bug repellants will kill it as seen in the photo below:
The green footprints you see in the photo indicate where the golfer was standing while applying the bug repellant. The turf underneath the golfer's feet was shielded from the spray. As you can see, the turf that did come in contact with the spray was killed by it. It typically only takes about 24 hours for the damage to show up.
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY BUG REPELLANTS WHILE STANDING ON TURF!
