Overseeding?
I see on the Golfthevillages.com it has the overseeding schedule. It also says they will only be overseeding tees and greens. My understanding in the past is, the fairways on the Championship courses have been overseeded with rye. Is that different this year?

Yes. Remember how the overseeding didn't take last year? We just haven't had the sufficient rainfall this year to allow this; rest easy, the golfing world is not going to end because of this; all the 20+ handicappers will now have an excuse to blame their sucky games on. On the flip side, it will give the courses time to do some extensive weed control on the fairways.

What will the low handicappers use for an excuse? The same thing?

That may be a bit presumptuous of me, I am not sure what a low handicap's index would be, to know if I could be one...

Well, rainfall this summer isn't as important as after over-seeding rye. I spoke with one of the superintendants last year and the reason I was given was that December had gotten quite warm. That caused the bermuda to come out of dormancy. Consequentially , it choked out the overseeded rye. It seems to me that this is strictly a cost measure. Starts with golf course due to the high cost but then will spread to other amenities. Almost every aspect of TV's is first class. I have played courses in the south that haven't over-seeded but they will not be as nice as what TV's have done in past. Not trying to panic or anything, but just concerned. Time will tell.

Just saying, I'm concerned about cost cutting. Golf if the number one reason TV's has been so popular. At least to start with. :-)

The only real reason for over seeding is to make the course look green. The fairways are fine just the way they are and the greens will putt fine with dormant Bermuda.
If anything needs to be over seeded, it's the rough. When the Bermuda goes dormant, there basically is no more rough. Golf courses become much wider and there is less chance of a stray ball being held up from getting into trouble.
