Every Superintendent cringes when this happens. Last weekend we had a pin hole leak in a hydraulic hose on one of our rough mowers. Fortunately there is not any severe damage, just some streaking around a few greens. You will notice the damage around greens 14-16. The majority is where the machine was turning. The oil is extremely hot when it comes out of the hose and cooks the turfgrass plant and kills it. Interseeding and a little extra fertilizer to promote growth is the remedy. We are still in the "grow zone" to recuperate before the winter.
