Disappointing

Michigan State being one of the top turf management schools in the nation, should strive to keep not only Akers West a showcase, but the East course also. The rough was like a hayfield with mounds of dead grass everywhere. Obviously need to sharpen the mower blades and mow more than once every 10 days. Plenty of patches in the fairways in need of some grass seed also. Too many $20 golf deals in the Mid-Michigan area for courses that are in much better condition than Forest Akers East.
