Makes sense but what doesn’t make sense is the difference of conditions among courses south of 466. For example, Cane Garden’s courses are in much better shape than Bonifay for example. Don’t know if the same maintenance group manages both courses but there is a difference. One other reason which I have personally witnessed is the irrigation patterns. Makes no sense to me that the spray and distance are not adjusted properly as I have seen water being sprayed into retention basins rather than being adjusted to spray just on areas that require. They can be adjusted, replaced or new heads put in a different location. I know the maintenance people see this as I have seen them watching the arc of spray pattern.
