Yesterday after I cut my grass three small brown rectangular spots showed. I haven’t had any browning all summer and I have been making sure to put 1-2 inches of water on it weekly, wether by Mother Nature or by Father Sprinklers. I did apply some liquid fertilizer (20-0-0) in the middle of June but I made sure to keep it watered so it wouldn’t burn up.

I’m unsure what is causing this and how to treat it any help is greatly appreciated!

Hopefully these pictures load up

Last month my beautiful front lawn did the same. Brown patches appeared out of nowhere. I didn't do anything, but fortunately it only lasted one one mowing cycle and new grass overtook it. By my last cut two weeks ago, any brown was barely noticeable, and today it's back to normal.

Doubt it’s fungus. Grey leaf doesn’t look like that and it’s too early for large patch. YouTube how to check for chinch bugs. Could possibly be the mower scalping a little bit too much off the top.
