Fairway spraying

It's been a couple early mornings due to fairway spraying. With the humid, warm days and cool nights, dollar spot is thriving. We try to space out our fairway fungicide applications to every three weeks but sometimes a closer app is required due to weather conditions. These foam mystery dots are simply to mark the edge of our last pass when spraying. They are noting more than a soap concentrate mixed with water. Our sprayer is equipped with a pump that drops a foam ball every so often. That way when we turn around to make the next pass you can see where we stopped. Precise pesticide applications are required so we appreciate your patience with this annoyance. It is difficult to find a golf ball among them!!
