Burning trash.

define organic. The pesticides used on the grass run into the roots of trees...I do not know if that "scent" given off in the air contains the remenants of the poisons.

Why would you need to use pesticides on grass...?

He is more accurately referring to fungicides and herbicides rather than just pesticides. Golf courses use all three and also use large amounts of fertilizer.

An average course uses about 1,000 pounds of pesticides per year.

Most of the chemicals stay on the course, but there can be runoff issues if improperly applied.

Yes. I understand they are VERY sensitive to those issues.

The burns are only bad at certain times when stagnant air settles the smoke. One must wonder if the air gets fouled.
