Been playing the championship courses for 10 years now myself and it's boorish to hear an attempted defense of the indefensible (poor conditions of some courses), just because of...blind loyalty to Da Family. Particularly irksome is giving an opinion of condition(s), if they haven't even played the courses...in quite a while. A number of championship course's greens are still in good shape and a couple, like Tierra and Lopez, with the new strain of grass installed...are absolutely awesome. While a number of others...are simply abominable. So there is definitely something besides just "seasonal traffic"...going on. |

Played Palmetto yesterday. Number 1 now has a temporary green in front of the regular one. All the others are mostly green colored dirt. Nothing holds on the greens. Also looks like they are not cutting normally as what grass there is on the greens seemed to be taller than normal.

We played Palmeto today. Didn't think it was that bad. Hole #1 was terrible, but none of the rest.

Course conditions
Quote:
[If we, the property owners, are virtual owners (like shareholders) of the executive courses, by way of CDDs, shouldn't we be getting explanations about course conditions -- more than just being told when some are being closed? [/I] I don't remember reading anything from the new executive golf director hired last year since his introduction. If you want owners and golfers to stop complaining about course conditions, be transparent. Explain what and why and how. We are intelligent people and may understand, or at least have empathy. [/I] |

The greens at Pimlico and Churchill Greens are in bad shape and Belmont is closed. Yankee Clipper is in awesome shape. Love that course. Nancy Lopez was in great shape yesterday.

The leaders of the Villages should be ashamed.If we kept our property up in the same manner they keep the Execs we would be cited by community standards

I heard yesterday that the plan is to close Palmetto as early as next week for “maintenance “ reasons, leaving only Mangrove in the Big Cypress properties. Open for play. No word yet on the soil testing completed at Sweetgum or any timetable for reopening.

Palmetto greens were damaged(by Maint.) the same time as Sweetgum. They closed Sweetgum, but tried to save Palmetto. They're now closing Palmetto for the last 2 weeks of this month.
And I agree with Gracie, except add "wheels" onto her feet comment. |
