Golfnut if the green is getting so much play that the area around the hole literally has no grass left around it then it is probably time to move the hole. It is no fun to golf on that and probably not good for the green. It has happened more than once to me in the last few weeks. The same applies to tee boxes. It is not any fun to tee off in an area that no longer has grass. Although there is some leeway as to where one places there ball on the tee box. As to whether they are trying to save money with the over seed, I can see no benefit from that and so far have no indication from anyone I have talked about that this occurred. Think about it the short term potential gain ($) versus the long term loss of sales and house value loss. Does not make much sense at all. I would prefer to think we had a very bad year with the fairways. I do, however as I have said before, think there can be something done about the greens, including moving the hole more often. Slamming the courses in a place(The Villages) that seems to go out of their way to please is a little harsh in my opinion. Everyone is welcome to their opinion but if you want something fixed then give feed back and not always negative. This is not intended as a lecture or a slam on anyone here. I just think we owe it to ourselves to give feedback if we want something fixed.
