While that would be a perfectly reasonable "cause", it strains credulity that the folks overseeing such a "specialty" type construction would allow such a wide variation. I suppose that's "possible", but. . .

Reminds me of what we've witnessed here with the amazing rapidity of home construction. I have a bit of assembly line work way back in my background and have seen some incredible skills (in others) who have put in enough "reps". My sense is that such folks tend to figure out what works and then hone it.

But, that does give me food for thought. Drainage has to factor in there somewhere, eh? Hmmm. Wonder if the paucity of ball marks might correlate with more elevated greens or more "uphill" type tee shots. . .
