It's worth noting that the chemicals are sprayed using equipment that sprays downward onto the turf rather than into the air. This reduces the amount of overspray into the air. I still beleive it is prudent to close windows and keep pets inside when spraying occurs.
Since there are courses here that have Audubon certification it means the chemicals used are not dangerous to fish and wildlife, so I suspect they have minimal danger to humans and pets. I expect they use the same chemicals on all the courses for a volume discount rather than different ones.
