Now there are other variables that are out of the maintenance guys hands and one of the big ones I believe is the amount of play. And as I have tried to point out if anyone has a problem with a course then take the time to find out which championship manages the exec you are on and give them feed back. This is not directed at anyone, but often it is earlier to complain on a forum than to actually make the effort to contact the individual responsible and get it fixed. This is not a phenomenon unique to this forum, it happens on other I frequent. But I do see it all the time here, especially in regards to restaurants. Feed back is the answer. If it falls on deaf ears then by all means, especially with restaurants, slam away because I do not want to waste my money there. But with the golf courses we need to get things fixed. As I think I said the courses and the people are the reasons we moved here. Thanks for your time

You are right on the mark with your comment about letting the courses know directly, as opposed to just complaining on a forum.
I did complain to Mallory one day, and all I got back was the answer that it was the weather this winter. As I've mentioned previously, based on conditions throughout the LadyLake area, and the better condition of a number of the courses outside The Villages, I suspect it is more than the weather, so I've elected to "go to the next level". I truly hope we can get some answers and if enough people let them know we are unhappy, it will certainly give them incentive, if they don't have it already, to make things better this upcoming year.
But the key is people must let management know their concerns. I as given this number to call: 753-3396 and ask for Mr. Basso, who is the Golf Operations Manager for the Villages. He works closely with each individual golf course facility manager. I've tried a couple times and he's out in the field but will keep trying. I urge others to do the same. Let's get our concerns out there.
