Been here 20+ years which according to this theory should be enough time. Fact is the fairways are always cut to short. Only time I've ever seen it done right was when I played Lopez a few days before the recent LPGA Legends Tournament. Even that's now reverted to pre tournament levels. Played yesterday at Cane Garden where this theory is clearly refuted as the grass never spreads to the numerous bare spots all over the fairways.
