The Ambassador is right, courses like Palmer have more water and money available than courses like Cane Garden and Mallory. TRUST ME, every superintendent wants the best looking course since his job is dependent on course ratings by the higher ups. But water restrictions and budgets hold these courses back and there is only so much they can do. Mallory and Cane actually have to share water from each other. One course will get more water on certain days while the other will be short and vice versa.
