Default Rust on grass?

My brother has it. And he says there's really nothing you can do about it.
What is it? What causes it? And is there anything that can be done about it?


Well you have to wash your sneakers more often to get the color out---
Its a fungus.
During seasons where the temp and moisture are just right and the
grass grows long into the weeks where it would be dormant (cool season
grasses) is when you see rust. A light feeding helps get things back
to normal as it seems to attack turf that has run low on nutrients. I
have never seen rust kill a lawn .
