There are times when i played in JB course that i notice that the fairways and green got vey small and fine blue stone like all over. when asked the marshal, he said IT's only weed and insects pesticides !
google for golf course pesticides, it reviewed that 2 most common used in golf pesticides was Carbaryl (Sevin SL) and Chlorpyrifos (Dursban Pro). These two chemical are very deadly to weeds and small insects etc but are they SAFE for us Humans ?
Some of us played more than 3 times or more a week, exposing to all the pesticides, i wonder will it harm our health and our manhood ?
If it deadly to weeds and bugs....i may played once a month.....
Any golf guru can help ?

Another old thread i like to warn golfers, wash your hands before meal or toliet break, do not leave your cigarette on the grass while you prepare to teeoff, the cigarette paper will soak up some chemical and you can get very sick from it !
