That is what some people believe. I am wondering, if this is true, how do they accomplish it?

The retention ponds on all the courses south of 466 and, I think, all except Orange Blossom and Hacienda Hills north of 466, are interconnected so that water can be moved from one to the other. It is sometimes amazing how it can rain buckets in one area of TV and nothing an another. The interconnection allows them to move water from where there is excess to where it is needed. Unfortunately, there is no excess water anywhere.
C'mon rain!!!
