Bonifay is in an area that is not built up enough to reclaim water and they rely on well water. The water authorities have restricted them to 1) no watering the rough 2) watering fairways once a week and 3) water on greens and tees 3 times a week. This is the time of year the winter rye gives way to bermuda but with out water the transition will not go smoothly.

We need rain (and a signifigant one at that) to fill the retention ponds so normal watering can resume. It's a shame the "gem" of the Villages has to suffer......
