we're moving forward as partners you will see a tremendous a lot much of grass growing in all areas. we have some areas we turned off the water because we want to be responsible in the third year of the drought. there are areas that we literally turned off the water and specifically off the tee boxes and 150-yards where the balls should not be. we turned off the water and that's the pictures you're looking at. it's a responsible decision we made because we're under a lot of pressure with regards to holding on to our precious resource. the work we did together over the last nine months to negotiate a lease has been tremendous. the aid that the department is willing to give to the golf course will help it make a more sustainable model. it will help improve the course so the golfers are happy.
