Bermuda Turning White.

My Bermuda grass on my baseball field has spots where the tips on the grass is turning white. It’s not yellow, but white. I’m not sure if it is a fungus, disease, or something wrong with the dirt. If anyone has any ideas, please help!

See if the spots are next to sprinkler heads. There are some aquatic herbicides such as Sonar that turn grass white, and they show up around sprinkler heads.

No, there not close to the water sprinklers. I’ve had the water turned off for about a month because of a leak that hasn’t been fixed yet, and it’s been raining about twice a week here. I’m located in NE Texas. I have an A&M extension college close by, I am planning on having someon from there come out and look. If I find out anything I will let you know. I hope I found out quick, found two new more spots today. Thanks!
