If we have such an advanced water system, why can't it be tweaked occasionally to take full advantage of it's technology. Is it not possible to disable certain zones from distributing into already standing water and correct situations where silt buildup restricts and prevents drainage? These situations have existed for years. Perhaps our district management can help ensure that contractor's silt fences are actually erected properly?

I think the rationale for closing courses in the summer is a sincere effort to have the most availability when the population is highest. Having the most tee times during a period when the demand is also highest makes sense to me. Don't forget, these courses have people on them from dawn to dusk almost every day. It can create dangerous conditions for both workers and golfers to try to accomlish significant renovations while play is ongoing.
Removing 27 holes from play leaves 243 available. With the reduced population in the summer, I believe that should be sufficient. It appears we will have to agree to disagree on this topic. Enjoy your day.
