The latter assumes you know how to putt. Even the healing period after aerating is far better than in past years. Even had to repair a few ball marks today on greens that in the past were like concrete. Give it a break pal. You are paying $25-30 a round rather than the $100 or so at Disney. BTW, I'd be happy to provide putting lessons for $30 a half hour. sounds like you might need them.

And I will have to disagree.
While I've only been playing TV championship courses since the first time we first rented 8 years ago, the greens at most of the courses (since last summer)... are worse than at any other time in the last 8 years IMHO.
I am not one of those who judge greens on how 'green' they are as I don't care if they're brown in spots, as long as they are healthy, smooth, evenly cut, have a stimp of at least 7 and most of all to me...are consistent from one green to another on the same course.
What I have see of late, is a lot of attention given to the putting greens whereby they look great and putt nicely and then finding the ones on the course...are drastically different.
I have also seen lately, where the person mowing the greens does not take the time to make that last pass all the way around the green against the collar, which means you can be on the edge of the green...but putting through several days of growth.
Both conditions pointing to management issues...
NOT lack of water or other issues of nature.
As a general comment for those who seem to instantly have a knee-jerk reaction to
any criticism, of
any part, of
any action, of
any person of The Villages, please try to keep in mind...everyone is entitled to their opinion without the refrain of....
'if you don't like it move.'
Thank you.
