Schotzyb and Bigalibaba,
Thanks for your intelligent comments. No one ever said anything about there being a conspiracy going on. However, my point was, there do seem to be some management problems going on. I have also heard, and not verified, that many of the courses have a connected water system where if one course is short of water they can funnel it to another, yet Cane and Mallory do not have this system. Supposedly the new courses south of 466A will have such a system. If that is the case, it is even more imperative for them to build additional water retention basins for Cane and Mallory. If it is in the best interests of the developer to keep the courses looking good, it shouldn't be a problem spending the money.
The previous winter when it was so cold, we were given the excuse that the cold was the reason the greens and fairways were in such poor shape at Orange Blossom. The golf course conditions at the other courses outside The Villages didn't seem to have that problem. It turned that the overseeding had not been done correctly on OB, hence the poor conditions. Yet every ambassador you talked to said it was a result of the cold weather. Sometimes being a smart consumer means being able to separate fact from fiction.
