Tierra Del Sol would have been a perfect place to at least try something new. Instead it closes for 8 months and nothing changes. I just don't think they know what they are doing and the things that they di do only are short term fixes otherwise there would not be 4 different threads dealing with the poor conditions of the golf courses.

In the case of Tierra del Sol, an ambassador told me staff were told by the people that put in the new greens that the new greens should not be over seeded this past winter. Golf management overruled that instruction and the poor status of the current greens is the result. Apparently the grass of the new greens had difficulty competing with the grass used for over seeding.

I can speculate that the decision to override the recommendation not to overseed may have been made to present more colorful greens during Season.
