They also stated that there were toomany bukers and some would be taken out. Tierra Del Sol is being totally redone with a new type of grass that should help. Yes, they just did Tierra a whlie ago but they screwed it up so here we go again. All of the champ golf courses will be redone with the newer grasses eventually. Fromthe timeline I have heard we unfortunately will all be dead before this happens. Usage of manpower was also talked about. How many of you have seen 4 guys raking a bunker that gets no play. Some of these I never knew were on the course! The people in charge know the golf courses could be in better shape, they admitted it. Many other issues were discussed at this meeting but my post is long already. I must say that after the meeting, I am not convinced that for me at least these courses will be any better. They will just keep nickle and diming us to death and we will pay and keep playing and complaining.

The bottom line is that the convenience to jump in our golf carts and drive to the course, is a strong draw to put up with conditions that would be unacceptable at commiserate priced courses where you drive to...and have a bag drop.
Not saying that we're a 'captured audience,' but there is no doubt that 'THEY' know...we'll still play and that obviously has an impact on how much they spend on maintenance.
As to those who are
"sick & tired" of those complaining about course conditions, might I suggest you show some self-restraint...and just quit reading any posts in the
"THE VILLAGES GOLF COURSE CONDITIONS" FORUM?
Hint: That's
THIS forum.
