We do have a turf grass management major, we probably have some excellent people to take care of it.

Between the 30 and the 50 (hill side) the turf is very thin. You can see a lot of sand fly up on sharp cuts. Not sure what happened this summer but it is definitely stressed and is not up to par as in years past.
I’ve got great respect for Mike Echols and his staff. Has anyone heard an explanation?
I know every 5 years we completely re-sod, not sure when it is due to be done again.

I thought it got re-sod each year?
I thought I remember it specifically happening a year or two ago.
It's been a really dry & hot summer. On top of that, the summer has been much longer than normal. I've read that extreme or lengthy heat can make warm weather grasses go dormant.
