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.
Have you shared with country club administration?
