    It's a minor fungal disease called shot-hole of laurel caused by a fungus called Xanthomonas or Pseudomonas. It is a minor disease and goes with the territory. Many plants suffer from different shot hole diseases.
    You can get a fungicide for powdery mildews which should help with the disease but you will have to spray each year.
