I played Havana today and I thought the greens had very nice grass. They putted a little slow, but they were in great shape. Mallory last Friday also had great greens. Belle Glade a week ago the greens were in good shape but also a little slow. I agree with those that would like to see more grass on the fairways; you can not just sweep the ball off like we did on northern courses with bent grass or blue grass fairways. I have played Volusia and Turtle Mound with my wife in the last two weeks and thought the greens were decent. Bermuda grass grows best in the heat of the summer and seems to be coming in much better now.
Aeration is going to make a mess of all the greens this month, but it is necessary for the long term health of the greens.
