I've had a belief that reclaimed water used in irrigation contains disease qualities that flourish in hot weather. Whatever the problem(s) are the admin. claims they can't identify anything specific. I have a problem with that assertion. They cannot convince me that if scientific samples are taken from multiple sources i.e. water, turf, soil, etc. that experts such as at the Univ. of Florida Extension could not identify problems. Perhaps even the over seed material used in the fall should be examined. Of course, the biggest problem I have is that the permanent residents of The Villages are left with closed courses and poor conditions in the summer and our seasonal residents play in better conditions in fall and winter with ALL courses open.  |
Samples of the soil and grass and water have been sent to Univ. of Florida, it is a problem that they are tying to correct.
