The next baby step is getting the proper crosshatch pattern in that greened up thatch on the next mowing. :)
A little fertilizer might help with the yellow streaks too although that might be too much to bite off all in one week. :)
Getting Brown to think out of the park is like trying to get Heinz Catchup to run out of the bottle. ;) They both need a good hard kick in the ass to get anything happenin.

There are many lakes ...never any crowds .....for the most part nice people...no speed restrictions....tons of ramps ....all maintained...$3 launch fee or $30 yearly pass for all lakes in the state....never been stopped ever ...for sound or anything else...The closest lake to me Lake Allatoona ....one of the smaller ones I imagine you could fit 4 or 5 Havasu's in...:D
No gang bangers or punks looking for fights on these lakes....they are caught early...and eliminated...:D
