On one course someone had put down a large amount of the green divot sand on the bad areas.

The main practice green at Bogart/Bacall is finally showing some signs of coming back, but it's been a long, slow process. The upper practice green has looked for a long time like it was abandoned, but now looks like it has had some attention.
The green sand is "supposed" to enhance bermuda growth by absorbing the sun's heat better than white sand. I agree it doesn't seem like it makes much difference.
Did you notice the horrible condition of the back of the 5th green on Bogart? Looks like they have put in some grass plugs to aid recovery, but I don't understand why they didn't just re-sod the entire area.
