Answer
Hi Dana;
It sounds like you have brown patch fungus.
Grab a handful of the grass and tug on it. If it is brown patch, it should come up very easily,have little if any roots, and possibly have a slimy feel.
If the soil has too much clay, then the problem could be that the grass grew fine until the roots got as far as the clay will let them grow, and they can do nothing but die.
If it is brown patch, apply 10 pounds Horticultural Corn Meal per 1000 sq.ft. and water it in.
