East Lake An Issue

Hello. As if the Fedex Cup hadn't had its share of controversy. Last Saturday the word came that East Lake, which will host the Tour Championship, has next to no grass on its greens. The announcement went on to say the players would not be able to hit full shots into greens during their practice rounds. That has since changed to only having 3 greens out of play for the practice round.
Ernie Els said it best by calling the situation "unacceptable". Where everyone was when the grass was dying?
How could anyone not have a contingency plan in place for this event? I'm sure if Angus Glen North had not been ready for the Canadian Open, Angus Glen South, King Valley or even Glen Abbey would've been pushed into service.
There's no other Atlanta golf course that could handle an event for 30 players? I find it very hard to believe. While I can't think of one offhand, I did play on some nice Atlanta golf courses. Maybe Coca-Cola should buy or build its own course for future events.
Hopefully this situation will improve, and steps will be taken to see it never happens again.

Regards,
Steve
