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.
What other amenities are you referring to?
