Just my opinion but if you consider the amount of play that the executive courses get and the weather conditions in the past month, I think you can understand why the greens are in such bad shapes.

Some of the greens are in better shape than others and I would expect that it is because of the different weather conditions. I understand that there is only an 11 mile difference from end to end but some areas get more rain, frost, and wind then the other areas. If you check the frost delays on channel 2 in the morning there is a one to three hour frost delay between the different championship courses and their executive counterparts. I would have figured that they would all have the same delay but Lopez will open at 8 and Palmer will open at 9 and Tierra Del Sol at 9:30. This means that the executive courses governed by Lopez course will get walked on earlier and damage the greens more.

Last Wednesday, Walnut Grove, Amberwood, Briarwood and Oakley were on a 8:30 delay but the Ladies day was still scheduled for 7:45 at Briarwood. Go figure.

Also, not to defend the executive courses but I do not think the championship courses get as much play as the executive courses anyway so they should be more pristine.
