SHOTHOLE DISEASE?

I have several peach trees in my orchard that have leaves that looks as thought someone has taken a shot gun to them. It isn't on all the leaves nor all the trees. I also noticed the same situation on some of my plums and nectarine trees. Otherwise the trees look healthy. I read about shothole disease but I'm still very new to orchards and I'd like a fix if possible. Can you help?

Hi smokejumper,
The accepted organic way of controlling Shothole is by sprays of Bordeaux mixture.
Early spring and late post harvest sprays will give you the best control. Rake and destroy fallen leaves if possible too.
