All I read on TOTV is it will take time for any improvement, fire pros, fire supervisors , train the grass cutters and on & on.������

Every green I've putted on in the last week, has recently been fertilized.
The greens on Laurel Valley were atrocious 3 weeks ago. I think they've cut back on their mowing schedule, allowed them more growth (slows them down a little) and now the greens seem to coming back and most are putting well.
I believe Riley Grove's greens had been infected with a disease, but they seem to be improving.
Glenview's overall condition has improved in the last 2 weeks, although it's always been reasonable good. I noticed the bunkers are being power raked more often.
On Palmer yesterday, I noticed a bunch of areas where they've removed bad areas of fairway & green turf and patched in new sod.
Mallory's overall condition seemed to improve over the last 2 weeks.
I was told this morning, that there's a battalion of folks working on the Havana courses that are closed.
Some of the above is attributable to better weather and growing conditions, but I've also noticed more maintenance people seem to be out & about and working at the courses.
I think all the social media and other attention the courses have received over the last month, has been a little bit of a wake up call for the Developer. We're not dealing with dumb people here and once they began to be concerned their image might get damaged, I think they took notice.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
