News flash mowers are on the courses during the day many many times we have had to wait until the mowers and sand prep guys moved away. If you want peace and tranquility play the championship courses.

Your right that total silence thing is an ego trip.

I live on a golf course and they do mow the greens and tee boxes almost every day starting at 6 am. The other mowing in the rough area on Heron is usually on Thursday and goes on all day with the course closed until noon most Thursdays. What would you want them to do now at night.

Jeez, does the noise bother the dogs in the town squares? Oops, I got this mixed up with yesterday's boring thread!

Maybe you should complain there are not enough cheese and cracker service at each hole. This Has to be one of the most ridiculous post I’ve ever seen.

Or, maybe they should close the courses 2 days a week for maintenance, so no one is bothered by "noise"?
I have be golfing in TV for about eight years and have rarely seen a mower on a course during the day so I guessed that the work was being done at night.

So long as they start on the 9th hole and work their way down to the first hole there’s not much noise. I played one 18 hole course where I had to follow the workers and that wasn’t working so I skipped the hole they were working on. Sure helped my game as I gave myself an eagle on the missed hole.

I played with a guy who had the basket behind the seat set up as a full bar...

That's my kind of golf partner!

If they shut down the course to mow the lawn and hundreds of people couldn’t play that day, would that be OK with you?

The Villages could switch to a new type of grass. There’s a greens keeper, his name is Carl Spackler.
He invented a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

Count your blessings. The golf courses where many if not most of us came from are probably under a foot of snow.
