I know a lot of people who cannot play golf with cart path only, including myself sometimes. I was OK Saturday, but some other days I would not have been able to play.
I know a lot of men are not playing men's day now, because the courses are saying golf cart path only too much.
Just venting my feelings. Don't think the courses care though, because they are busy now.
From a simple agronomy standpoint, new grass takes a while to develop a mature root system and established grass needs periodic aeration and rest because of the very heavy traffic on all courses in TV.
