Roundup Exposure at Golf Courses: What Players, Groundskeepers, and Neighbors Need to Know
A golf course, with its perfectly manicured greens and pristine fairways, is often seen as a peaceful escape. Yet, maintaining this idyllic landscape frequently involves the heavy use of chemical herbicides like Roundup.
