Default Havana Golf course

What is going on with Havana golf? Closed for 6 weeks, no apparent work being done?
Abandoned? No work being done?

Grass is growing. Being mowed. Looks like it is recovering fairly well.

What’s up with that course? It consistently seems to have more problems with conditions than any other Championship course in the Villages.

When you say "Havana," which course do you mean, or do you mean all three courses? I live on one of them and wondered why there's been no activity lately.

There has been significant work done including aerations in the greens and fairways new sod in some of the greens, top dressing the greens and fairways. Right now the big guy upstairs has provided better growing conditions.
What work do all of you professional agronomists wants to see being done on a daily basis aside from what's being done?

Once the grass is repaired, it’s up to the sun and rain.
There is no need to move the holes every day, no need to rake the bunkers.
They probably only mow a few times a week.

When grass is growing it appears as though nothing is being done. 🙄

You could always stop by the pro shop or call to find out the progress. They provide a very simple answer.

It's like watching grass grow, isn't it? Well?

One of my great pass times, second only to watching paint dry!

I heard a rumor that the wrong fertilizer used on the greens. Contractor issue, were they held responsible?
