LOL. If you ask Eric about me, he will tell you I don't always defend the maintenance practices here. I am on a committee that meets with Eric as well as GMS representatives on a quarterly basis to discuss maintenance of the executive courses. And we are not complimentary a lot of the time. Interesting that TPC Sawgrass is replacing the ultradwarf bermuda on all its greens this summer. The information I got at The Players is that they are putting in a dwarf bermuda. The course is closed until November to get it done. That's a lot of revenue lost, so they must have a good agronomic reason for doing it.
I enjoy our discussions and appreciate and understand your concerns. What I tend to respond to are hyperbolic posts that unfairly, IMO, denigrate the efforts I know for a fact are being made to maintain the courses. We can certainly discuss how effective they are.
