| No it will not cause permanent damage to your grass. You should give it a good drink of water and then leave it alone and let it recover. If you left the clippings on top you will want to remove them before you water. So, why was the bermuda at a 3 inch height in the first place? Is this a hybrid bermuda like Tifway 419? |

| No problem there is still lots of growing time left. If it has been at least say 20 days since you last fertilized it, an dat least 30 days before your are first frost date give it a shot of fertilizer, keep it watered, and MOWED. |
