All executive courses have removed rakes from bunkers and replaced flagsticks and cups. I don’t know if this has been done on the championship courses. I will find out today. I hope they don’t close the courses, but it is inevitable if there is a spike in positive cases in The Villages. I am playing a lot less golf than I have in the past. I played alone yesterday afternoon.
