[QUOTE=djl8412;658412]I don't recall claiming a conspiracy theory but I won't split hairs. My claim is that attempts should be made at refurbishments taking place at all times of the year unless weather dictates otherwise. The heat of the summer is never an ideal time for new grass growth. It would be subject to more diseases and require more water. Weather in Florida allows for construction/excavation all year.

That's where you're wrong. These golf courses use bermuda turf for tees, fairways, and greens. Bermuda loves heat. That's why it goes dormant when ground temps drop in the winter, necessitating overseeding with annual ryegrass. Summer is the best time to address turf issues since the grass loves the heat and there usually are frequent rainstorms to provide moisture and promote new growth.
Sorry if I misread your post, but it seemed to imply that course conditions were intentionally optimized for the high season when rates are higher, and allowed to deteriorate when the seasonal residents and renters left.
