Sounds like a lot of you should join a private country club where the greens keeper has a college degree in Agronomy. He lives on the course free of charge and you pay $50K a year to be a member. Count your blessings and think about what we’re getting for under $2K a year.

With the number of courses in The Villages and what they change to play them they certainly can afford to hire one or two individuals with degrees in Agronomy. Secondly the greens do not need to be this way. I use to have a membership at a very nice semi private course up north. They would close the course for one day and punch and sand the greens. They would then water, water water the greens the rest of the day. Within three days you would never know the greens had been aerated.
