Bogart is closed. Greens are in terrible shape, now recently sanded and aerated. So, before anyone claims that bad conditions are due to "excessive play", Bogart is just up the road from Truman, and both get the same amount of play during peak season. So why does Truman have good greens when Bogart's are trashed? Can only be a maintenance issue.

Part of the problem could be Bogart has more tee times every day than Truman.

Proximity is not relevant.



Different construction.


Disease


Air contaminants from the Water Treatment.


My glass is 1/2.............it's closed and they are fixing the greens.

Nice guesses. Maybe true, maybe not. Any proof?

Yes, the exact same proof as, "Can only be a maintenance issue."

Played Truman yesterday. Great greens. A little slow, but very nice.
