Pelican just reopened and the day we golfed it the green on hole 5 had by damaged by what appears to be the mower. Just this week, we played Roosevelt, which had been recently renovated, and the greens had numerous brown streaks in them and full of crab grass. Seems like it is wasting a lot of money to renovate these courses and then ruin them by poor maintenance.

My suggestion is to remove all the bunkers from the executive courses and put that maintenance money toward keeping the greens in better shape. Most executive golf course players don't need to be playing out of bunkers and imagine the pace of play benefits!

All Executive Course (owned by the District) maintenance is contracted out, under the supervision and direction of Donald Jones.

The previous Director of Executive Golf Maintenance left in January, Mitch Leininger. I'm not sure it was relevant, in an interview with Don Wiley, he claimed to have a Degree in Turf Management from Penn State ... he did not. Also, the complaints about Executive Course maintenance were off the charts.

The new guy was hired without a 4 year degree in Agronomy, as was required by the Job Posting.

Not that I'm questioning that the District hires only the best and most qualified.

Posing your question on this web site will not solve your question. Attend a PWAC meeting and ask them your question. Daniel Jones attends one of these monthly meeting once a quarter. I'm sure you are smart enough to figure out which one he attends. Or write a letter to the CDD representative who represents your district at the PWAC meeting, and have your representative ask Daniel the question.

Here's an idea, what about have a sandbox at each tee box. Not everyone has a sand bottle, especially if they are walking...

Most people do not know this but building/maintaining bunkers are more costly than greens
