Title:Our golf greens are situated on fairly heavy soil and were laid down with little consideration of the future traffic on them. I understand that heavy tractor equipment was used in the construction. Today water movement is almost negligible with the result that they become wet to floating in the top few inches during winter while in summer water just runs off without penetrating. Is there any remedy for this, short of completely re-laying the greens
