That's what I mean when I say "makes no sense" (to me anyways). I just have a feeling there is more happening than we see, regarding how the available water is dispersed to the various courses. My spouse spoke to Todd Basso, head of golf course operations, and he said Palmer has the same allocation as the other courses. I find this really hard to believe. I used to see them watering Palmer all the time, and as mentioned, Mallory very little.



I would love to hear from Mr. Basso, all the nitty gritty details on allocations. Are they monthly, yearly allocation amounts? What are the exact amounts for each course? If Palmer gets the same amount of water as Cane or Mallory for example, why is Palmer so green and in such nice shape while Cane and Mallory are not? If I get some free time I may give him a call to help clear up some of these inconsistencies.

Taj and all - a question for you...

I seem to recall hearing that the management company for Havana is different than for all the other courses. Can anyone confirm - and would that make a difference in the water allocation or just the care of the course?
