Dollar Spot
On closely cut turf like golf courses, the dollar spot appears as circular, brown to light-brown embedded spots about the size of a silver dollar. In coarser grasses like St. Augustine, maintained at taller cutting heights, the dead spots are larger and less symmetrical, and can be confused with brown patch. Dollar spot can be distinguished by lesions on the leaf blades along the borders of infected areas. The lesions are typically gray or brown int he center with reddish-brown borders.
