Haven't been on Bonifay, but I wonder if they are doing what they did in CA during the transition. Our club would withhold water throughout the course so the overseed would die quickly and not shade the bermuda. This left the course brown and the greens very inconsistently grassed. Them they aerated the greens and top dressed them. With all the overseed gone, they hit the course with a high nitrogen fertilizer and water to stimulate the bermuda base turf. It would take a few weeks, but the course recovered beautifully. There sure was some grousing during that period, however.
