Default Concrete Fairways

Agreed, and although I understand the course gets lots of play and is dealing with twice the cart traffic now, I surely wish they would do something to alleviate the rock hard conditions. My elbow is trashed. Slotting, punching, something. Many moons ago, they overseeded everything with annual rye but then told us that was not good for the bermuda. Baloney. Augusta does it. They continue to charge more and deliver course conditions that are below an average muni course. If the demand continues, I see nothing changing, but they could try a little harder. A couple weeks ago, the greens at Belle Glade were cut unevenly because the guy doing it did not bother to take one last circular cut around the perimeter. Pure laziness. Cups are never cut correctly. A good superintendent would not tolerate that, but then again, as long as the cash continues to flow, nothing will change.
