Insect Repellent
This is a friendly reminder that when applying insect repellent please do so on cart paths or other non turf surfaces. The picture shown was taken on the 6th tee where repellent was applied. The foot prints can clearly be seen where the product did not come into contact with the turf. As you can see, where the repellent does come into contact the turf it causes significant damage and often the turf dies. Several spots are showing up throughout the course as the mosquito population reach an all time high, so if you are applying repellent please do so in an appropriate area.
