I agree. We don't have the water allocations that some of the older courses outside The Villages have, and we have much more cart traffic than those same courses. I think they do the best they can do here, given the parameters they work within. With this rain, the courses should be shaping up nicely. It seems to happen every year - March through May a number of the courses are dried out and basically terrible, then by early to mid-summer, the same courses are fantastic. The opposite will be true as well - courses like Glenview which are normally pretty good in the winter, don't have good drainage, so I'll tend to avoid that course during the rainy summer season. Russ, I'm with you - would love a nice cushion of grass near the green to chip from. Hopefully we'll have that pretty soon.
