We had fungal problems with our lawn when we were in Georgia. We had it resodded, but it eventually came back. It is a horrible problem. It will take a long time and cost a lot to fix the problem.
The developer is responsible only for those courses he has not yet released. To fix other golf courses, the monies will have to come from amenity fees in those districts.

From my first response from Howard Brown:
"As for Tarpon we are not sure why some of the greens are in worse conditions than others. We have sent soil samples out to check it there is a disease and we have not gotten the results back."
Got another response today that included the following.
"I agree it would be great to find a way to let people know about course maintenance, some of the things we do and why the courses are in the condition they are in. Unfortunately, we only respond and communicate with people who contact us and ask questions mainly due to staffing. Up until three months ago we only had 2 supervisors to manage the District’s 38 courses. We just hired 2 more supervisors so hopefully we can start being a little more proactive in getting the word out."

Here's hoping that the meeting tomorrow morning at the Savannah Rec proves fruitful.
