It seems totally counterproductive to have 6 courses closed during what is the "Highest Use Season".
The ability to have decent executive golfing available was one of the specific reasons for locating to T.V.
It now seems to be an after-thought for T.V. management.

Also, many golfers are coming from the areas South of 44.
I think you are correct. These greens are being mis-managed and improperly maintained. They are basically mud with sparse areas of grass. Are they being watered too much?? Are they being re-seeded? It's really terrible
