Executive Golf Course Conditions
We play the courses between 44 and 466 (but including Saddlebrook and Hawkes Bay).
The greens on almost all of these courses are in extremely very poor condition. Not only that, as of this date there are now 6 courses that are closed, in that area. It seems totally counterproductive to have 6 courses closed during what is the "Highest Use Season". The ability to have decent executive golfing available was one of the specific reasons for locating to T.V. It now seems to be an after-thought for T.V. management. Really needs attention from a professional golf course maintenance co. Also, many golfers are coming from the areas South of 44. |

Matter of fact, a professional course manager was hired several season ago.
Mitch.Leininger@districtgov.org or call 352-674-1885. I'm sure he's heard it all. I hope he gets the necessary budget to make improvements. |

Lots of smart retirees here in The Villages. Maybe one of them an come up with a way to process the dog poop into a solution to fix the poor green conditions?

I was wondering that too. Sometimes those DA statements need to be called out.

Additional note from originator
If we have a professional, what are his quilifcations, and why are the courses getting worse and being closed? Shouldn't they be getting better???
Also, nothing against more from south of 44 coming to play. All from T.V. can play on any course, what was the meaning is that more are playing and there are 6 closed courses. |

Have now sent inquiries to the two email addresses listed in this thread. There've also been some mentions of an adequate budget in this thread. Is there a "Reader's Digest" summary somewhere of how such budget decisions are made and the sources of the funds for that budget? TIA |

His certificate in turf grass is from Penn State, one of the best in the country. My solution would be to have 4 Mitches, one for each section of the Villages. I just hope he is empowered to run the executives |
