I don't know about mowers, but it can be transferred on golf shoes from green to green. However, all,the talk about a fungus is just speculation. There are areas on the greens that suggest a disease process, but whether it's fungus or nematodes, or something else, I don't know.

There are, to me, some weird things about the problems. For example, I noted this month at Bogart and Bacall that the greens are terrible, but also that those on the east side of Canal are significantly worse than those west. Why? I also noted that the turf between tee and green looked very good. ??? At first I thought it was because those areas aren't overseeded, but the fairways, which were, looked fairly good.
