Each year with the show, mosquitoes always seem to be an issue and because of that the mosquito repellents comes out. Below is a picture of what can happen when your favorite "bug spray" is sprayed over your body while you are standing on grass.
This burn area is on 14 fairway, along with a number of other spots on the fairway and adjacent rough. 12 tee also has multiple burn spots. Right now, you might be asking, "Is this grass going to die?" Well, it might, but hopefully it is more of a foliar burn or grass-blade burn. Time will tell. So, the next time you reach for that bug spray please consider what you might be doing to the grass below your feet. The best solution is to always spray mosquito repellent on a cart path or hard surface.
