I received interesting information from the office of golf operations. I had asked some questions regarding water allocations for the various courses. In a nutshell the following information was given:
1. Mallory and Cane didn't get their fairways overseeded this year due to lack of rain.
2. Cane and Palmer receive the same water allocation. Havana receives about 2% less water, and Mallory receives about 9% less water due to the allocations. Local Water Management determines the water allocation for the golf courses based on the permits with SWFWMD.
3. Mallory had some major pump irrigation problems this spring.
4. The courses were all built to the same specs i.e. Palmer built to the same specs as Cane or Mallory
5. There will be improvments made to Orange blossom - enlarging a couple of the greens, leveling some of the tees, and building 2 new restrooms.
