The management of the ponds in TV is atrocious.

The pond surrounding the 17 hole at TDS, has virtually no "open water". When I came to TV 5 years ago, it was mostly open.

If something doesn't happen soon, the tourist boats at Sumter Landing are going to pull out of the dock, turn right around & come right back ... there's hardly any open water left to travel through.

Ponds with shallow sides (as Pondboy said) are nearly impossible to maintain. Ponds all need movement and aeration, or they simply atrophy ... & stink.
