Well, rainfall this summer isn't as important as after over-seeding rye. I spoke with one of the superintendants last year and the reason I was given was that December had gotten quite warm. That caused the bermuda to come out of dormancy. Consequentially , it choked out the overseeded rye. It seems to me that this is strictly a cost measure. Starts with golf course due to the high cost but then will spread to other amenities. Almost every aspect of TV's is first class. I have played courses in the south that haven't over-seeded but they will not be as nice as what TV's have done in past. Not trying to panic or anything, but just concerned. Time will tell.
