[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 174465, member: 1372"] Depends what they are doing. If they are watering for a long period of time trying to get the water in the soil, then yes, I agree with you. If they are only watering for a few minutes with the idea to cool the grass, that is what is called syringing and it can be a great tool to use to keep your grass alive during the hot period of the day. Helps reduce stress on the grass. "Syringing is a very light application of water to wet the leaves of the grass but not necessarily to get water down into the soil. Usually syringing is done during the hot part of the day to cool the turf and reduce heat stress. There are three situations in which syringing might be considered on home lawns. The first is if the turf is infested with one of the patch diseases. Daily syringing during high temperatures can reduce the severity of damage considerably. The second situation is if the lawn is newly seeded. Germinating seedlings have minimal root systems and can easily die from water stress. Light, frequent waterings are necessary until the plants are established and have developed adequate root systems. Syringing during hot temperatures will help keep the seedlings cool and moist. The third situation is when an established turf is showing stress on a hot day but cannot be watered adequately until later" [URL]https://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/lawns/watering-lawns/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
