Played Palmer today, fairways in horrible shape. The championship courses have declined in the last two years. Yes, the courses receive much play, but this should not be an issue.
Hopefully this gets taken care of promptly.

This may seem silly but I have to wonder . . .
I have been on greens where half of the green is horrible and half is okay. WHY put the cup on the side that is horrible? I realize holes are moved but if the green is in bad condition why not put the flag where it is playable?

Just wondering! Can a fungus be transferred, from green to green from the mower? And if so, is there a spray they can spray the mower with, after cutting?

There are, to me, some weird things about the problems. For example, I noted this month at Bogart and Bacall that the greens are terrible, but also that those on the east side of Canal are significantly worse than those west. Why? I also noted that the turf between tee and green looked very good. ??? At first I thought it was because those areas aren't overseeded, but the fairways, which were, looked fairly good.

Conditions at Mallory yesterday were fine. There are areas on the edges of some greens where the grass is being killed by something (probably fungus, but who knows), but the bad spots are being treated. There is a green colored substance, which to me looks like a treatment powder, covering the damaged areas. Other than that, I found Mallory (Caroline to Virginia) to play just fine. Not perfect, but good enough for me to have a great day on the golf course.

Played Hacienda today. The greens are hideous, dying. Played Palmer two days ago, fairways are in terrible shape too.
What's going on?

[QUOTE=djl8412; I have corresponded with Eric recently and he offered to meet to discuss these problems which I commend him for. However, meeting and discussing with your group has not produced positive results.[/QUOTE]
Did you meet with Eric? What did he say? Our group meets quarterly. At the last meeting (April) there was no problem with conditions. Our next meeting is Thursday. We will discuss what is going on and what is being done. I reiterate, from my work with these people I can safely say that no one is happy or satisfied with these conditions. But there is no magic treatment that will suddenly grow grass.

Just finished playing Cane Garden . I was asking the starter before we teed off on Hibiscus how the course was & he said great!! I don't like calling people liars but his words were untrue. The fairways were very good but the greens wer a 2 on Hibiscus & 2.5 just a tad better on Jacarnda

I just got back from a party where people were discussing the condition of the golf courses in The Villages. Everyone agreed that the conditions overall are poor. Cane was one of those courses that should be avoided as it is not good right now. They were saying Mallory is good right now.
