The last time I played, I would have guessed that Riley's greens were diseased. Laurel's were just as bad from a playability standpoint, but I didn't notice as much indication of disease (not that I'm anywhere near an expert on turf management, but I've been involved with it for a long time).

You are right. The Greens on Laurel Valley have improved immensely, since 2 weeks ago. I played today and while they were a little slower than normal, they had plenty of grass on them. I suspect they're not cutting them as close, to let them heal.

Riley was as bad as they've been for the last 4-5 months. Hardly any grass on them.
