D.C.’s East Potomac Park’s golf course not so green
One of those “shoulda read the label” incidents at a busy Washington golf course means that they’re out of commission for a little while.
A government contractor mistook a herbicide for fertilizer and scorched 36 putting greens at Hains Point, one of the nation’s busiest golf courses and one of the few public tracks in the District of Columbia.
Groundskeepers for Golf Course Specialist Inc. killed the grass on all the greens at the course in East Potomac Park, according to National Park Service spokesman Bill Line and Golf Course Specialist spokesman Michael Williams.
“It was human error,” Williams said.
