Am new to this board and would love to meet you guys, but am teeing off about an hour before you in a mens club tournament at metro. Might be a long day out there. On the positive side--the course is playing as good as it gets. The fairways and greens are hard as rocks and the ball is running like I've never seen it before. Fast and Firm. The second and seventeeth are a little beat up like always but otherwise the whole place is looking really good. More links and less "links style." If you see Gary, the super, let him know how much you like the conditions. He's usually riding around in a tractor with his border collie, Kendra, and is a really nice guy. I don't think he ever goes home. Let anyone you can know because management always wants to return it to a soft, lush, and green state. A couple of us have been sending emails trying to enlighten them but the more people they hear it from the better. And tell them to cut down the bush behind the sixth green. That's my mission right now; fast and firm and no bush. I'm left handed and about 6'5" so wave if you see me. Have fun out there. Bill.
