There are signs (usually) posted at the tee boxes (like hole 1 and 10) saying the fertilizer is non-toxic. Other than that I don't think we can find out the exact chemical. I like how this is tinted green to make the golf course look better!
I suspect that the schedule for these operation are known to the long time residents, but most are not recording the dates and times. You could call the course beforehand and ask, they probably know the current conditions.
I too was surprised a bit at Lopez by this, so it must have been "top dressing (sand) and fertilizer" week.
