HERE IS A SOLUTION
What if everyone who uses pond water for irrigation (south areas only) were granted free use of that water for the month?
People would irrigate their lawns.
Pond levels would soon return to normal.
Golf courses would dry out very quickly without all that extra irrigation running continuously.
Golf could reopen in a week. That generates MONEY
People are happy playing golf again.
Everybody else is happy watering their lawns with free pond water.

Three potential problems:
1. The money that is generated does not go back to the utility company to make up for what it would lose in water bills
2. The water being pumped onto the courses may be coming from ponds that are not connected to the wastewater treatment plants but not the household irrigation system
3. We're not out of hurricane season yet and saturating your ground before a storm, particularly a storm with wind, is unwise
