I can vouch for the power of Roundup also. Our Greenkeeper accidentally sprayed it on all our greens a few years back after picking up the wrong bottle. It totally destroyed the lot and we had to relay all of them.
Surely you have to pass your PA1 test to become a greenkeeper? Part of that is so you can read labels on herbicide containers correctly.
I cannot believe a greenkeeper 'picked up the wrong bottle'. It's poison he's dealing with, not washing up liquid.
Does he still have a job? That would be an instant dismissal at most clubs.
