Correct! That's the question. The answer, in my enfeebled mind, lies not in what the powers that be are telling us what they are doing, but in what they are
NOT doing. Managers are not managing, or are not capable. Supervisors aren't supervising or or they don't really know what they should be doing. They have failed!
All courses should meet or exceed certain standards and never, repeat,
never be allowed to fall below set standards lest people be replaced.
The time for new, healthy grass is here. Kill the fungus/disease, weed, feed and reseed, if needed, and the courses should look better then the best lawns in the community in as short a time.
Oh, and the equipment (mowers, equipment carts, and even the workers boots) should be cleaned after each course before it has a chance of transporting, fungus, disease, weeds, etc, to another course.
That's just for starters. The golf courses aren't just for golfers. The scenic views, and beautiful open spaces enhance life in The Villages in ways we seldom or never think about. They are our community jewelry and the hire caretakers aren't doing a very good job of protecting them. And, that is my most humble opinion.
Have a great day!
