Timely subject for me Ben...

I woke up early this morning for a round of 18 holes before work...6am tee time and I'm used to the grounds crew still being on the course doing their work when I golf that early...

Much to my dismay it was "pesticide and fertilizer morning" at the course. The entire course was covered with a murky white layer of scum. It was all over my clubs, shoes, hands, etc. The ponds had a milky white film on them and all of the ducks were sitting out of the water.

And to top it off, now that I'm at work my hands feel like they have been soaking in bleach all morning. I had not golfed in two weeks (due to rain and work) and should not have this morning but it had been so long since I swung the sticks. I should have chosen differently, especially after I saw the grounds crew guy driving the pesticide tractor while wearing a full white suit with respirator mask.
