When I spoke with Mr. Basso, I brought that up, and he said it was being investigated. He said The Villages has certain standards about how much seed has to be put down in the overseeding process, but reading between the lines, the companies that do it may have skimped. They are analyzing all the data. Obviously some courses are in better shape than others, and some are maintained by different companies. Basso appears to be on top of things. the proof will be in the pudding next winter.
