Roger that, and I'm not even a golfer.

Further to the subject of chemicals on grass: A friend introduced
me to the following idea: When your child or grandchild is invited on
a play
date that involves playing on the lawn, FIND OUT whether the
homeowners
put chemical fertilizer on the grass. If they do, your child must
not play
on that lawn.

Asked in a polite,non-preachy way, this will not only elicit the
required information, but
the homeowners might be glad to learn that this is a health problem
for children.
