It means that I have done everything from laying sod to digging out traps, to cutting fairways and greens to teaching at both private and public courses. Moving a bit off topic. I am saying that it is more than likely the costs associated with overseeding that are pushing this forward. Someone asked about the actual cost and while I cant tell you what the maintenance team would be paying I can give you a rough idea of the requirement. The average course would utilize approx. 500 lb per acre to overseed. A few years ago the cost would be in the $125k-$225k per 18 hole course to overseed. Certainly The Villages has some economies of scale relative to their buying power but the cost is not insignificant.
