Request to Post Plugged Greens
 

Booked Sweetgum because the greens were in very good shape last week. Arrived to PUNCHED and not rolled greens. There needs to be a message board or MAINENANCE NOTE posted on Villages.NET. Generic Closed For Maintenacne is not sufficient.
We are down to four or five decent courses righ now! I hope Executive Course maintenance performs better next year. (10-12 courses closed in Jan-Mar is Unacceptable!)

There is a schedule posted on golfthevillages.com under Turf Talk

Link
 

That link doesn't work.

Yes it does. Go to "Golfthevillages.com", then look under Turf Talk. There's a links with aeration schedules exectutive courses...

Just checked, the schedule for the Champs comes up but an error message comes up when trying to open up the schedule for the Executives.

It doesn’t work for executive courses. I got the following message.

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Did it work for you, how?

See if this link works for you.

I just look at it as any other challenge for my game. Conditions are rarely perfect. It just becomes another “hazard”. If you can perform well under those conditions, think how well you’ll do under better conditions. Enjoy the process of the game no matter the conditions.

Don't think the file at the non-functioning link is still accurate either. Just drove by Palmeto yesterday and they were sanding (heavily) the ninth green. Schedule says they were doing it in May.

Perhaps part of the efforts to correct poor conditions.

Fire Leadership employed by The Villages Responsible for Golf Course Management
 

The Executive Leadership employed by The Villages who is responsible for Golf Course Management should be FIRED! Their replacement(s) will (1) Make necessary Organizational Changes, (2) Establish Priorities and (3) Direct & Empower those responsible for maintaining Golf Courses in good, playable condition. Some Executive Golf Courses are in great shape, which demonstrates that with the right leadership, golf course conditions can be properly maintained within the current budget. Of course, those of us playing the courses need to do our part by fixing divots and ball marks.

Golfers Should Purchase Pre-Owned Homes in North & Central Villages
 

Golfers shopping for homes in The Villages should NOT purchase a New Home in the Southern Areas. Rather, they should buy a pre-owned home in the Middle or Northern areas which have plenty of golf courses nearby.

Golfers shopping for homes in The Villages should NOT purchase a New Home in the Southern Areas, which lack enough Executive Golf Courses. Rather, they should buy a pre-owned home in the Middle or Northern areas which have plenty of Executive golf courses nearby.
