"What is the prevalence of use of these pesticides in the Golfing Industry?"
I've decided to do a bit of research for F Portenier and provide the names of active ingredients listed by DSF by providing links to approved uses and products that they can be found in. As for which ones are used for golf? A licensed exterminator can spray a schedule 1-6 pesticide (look here for details), the most common of these chemicals on golf courses would be the Glyphosate products. It is important to note that the province of Ontario does expect to exempt golf courses from any "ban" through the use of an accreditation program. My understanding is that the province is working towards updating the IPM Acreditation Program, currently adminstered through Ridgetown College.

Glufosinate Ammonium - The herbicide is a broad spectrum herbicide which is comparatively bio-degradeable similar to glyphosate.[1] Glyphosate was first sold by Monsanto under the tradename Roundup, but is no longer under patent. It is sold under the brand names sold under trade names Basta, Buster and Liberty. Crops have been developed (genetically engineered) which are resistant to this herbicide through the insertion of the bar gene[2] into plants.
