Are the other patches bald or discoloured?

Hessayon has a good book about lawn diseases - have a look on-line also.

sometimes when you put something in the garden, cats will pee up against it, and that will be on your grass (is it on the edge of where you put the pool?)

thanks for the idead but we just realised what the problem was , on sunday all the g kids were having the swing ball play offs and it was where they were standing , luck for me there is a path down the centre of the garden so told them to stand on that , last time it was bubble mix which scalded a big patch begining to think kids and grass dont mix lol

He he....i think if you want a decent lawn then they dont mix, the only person who walks on my front lawn is me when im mowing it lol, then again i do get alot of comments from neighbours saying how do you keep it so green and nice etc.
I always think the grass/lawns are one of the hardest plants to grow lol to keep it in tip top condition that is. If you think about it you spend more time on that 'plant' than any other in the garden lol

your not wrong there , my fronts ok no dog pee , had comments on mine as well then the patches appeared some we know were the dog but some were not a bit mysterious
