I'm very thankful as well for the opportunity to take up golf since moving here and playing on these courses. From what I've observed of the maintenance crews it seems they are out there everyday doing something. I agree 100% about the golfers help care for the courses. I need to branch out and play on more courses. If it were an easy sport I would not be bothering with golf.

We live on number 6 (par 4) and they definitely water and fertilize the fairway.

the simple fact is that both Executive Courses and Championship courses in The Village get too much play (period) and it ain't going to change.

it might help if they spent some of the millions they make on golf and perhaps put that money back into all the courses.

Does that assume no money is put back into the courses?

Yes, we played there Tuesday and I couldn't believe how bad that grren was. There must be a reason because the rest of the course was fine.

Is that the green recently vandalized by someone driving on the course at night?

Bonny 03-13-2014 09:59 AM

Not that I know of. It's the entire green that's just kind of dead and brown.

Somebody mentioned a part of the problem with that 6th green is because of the constant shade if I remember right. The darn thing looks more like an weathered indoor outdoor carpet than it does a green.

Same problem existed at Roosevelt #6. As the trees grew, the shade increased and the grass suffered. There was a plan to take out some trees, but trimming the trees helped enough for the green to recover.
