Just look at the conditions of the greens south of 466, you can not spray a weed killer on the green and expect to grow grass. Time to hire a company that knows what they’re doing.

Painting the greens green doesn't grow grass…
And, the equipment used by the "lawn cutters." does its own kind of damage.

Tire tracks across the greens, grossly uneven cuts, grass clippings left on the greens . newly cut holes rough on edges and uneven.
