It appears to be a problem of the blind leading the blind. People without necessary turf management expertise are directing maintenance performed by glorified lawn care companies.

Thank you for the kind words.
I think you're right. The person leading the operation doesn't need to be the world's expert on turf management, but he needs to know what real golfers expect, know who to hire and then hold that person accountable or make a change if his choice can't handle the job.
In the case of Mr. Leininger, he apparently reports to:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/captainbrown/. Captain Brown was in the Coast Guard for 36 years and retired as a Captain. I didn't find any golf experience on his LinkedIn.
A guy named David Williams is in charge of "Golf Course Operations" and has an entirely different chain of command. He's a PGA Professional, but has no LinkedIn page.

I am a retired PGA professional with over 30 years in the business. Perhaps I could send them an email introducing them to you and suggesting a meeting. DM me your contact info if you'd like to try this.

Thank you for the offer. I live in TV and play golf most every day. If I have any insight of value to the golf community at large, I'm happy to do whatever. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm more than a little bored.
