I played Nassau CC in Glen Cove, Long Island yesterday for the first time in a year. For those who have not played Nassau, it is/was a tree lined course in great condition with some really interesting greens, Last year, they lost the entire course. Unfortunately, they decided they had to fire the super and hired a young man from Oakmont named David (wish I knew his last name) David has taken down a lot of trees, and in a short time, has improved the course imeasurably. You could feel how firm the fairways were just walking on them. If you had been there before , you could really see the way that the course has been opened by tree removal. The greens have a lot of movement and are rolling very smooth. I was lucky enough to meet David, and his enthusiasm for improving the course was palpable. Nassau has the 2014 US Women's AM, and I have no doubt that the course will be amazing for the tournament. If I were a member, I would be ecstatic about the future of the course.
P.S. in an odd twist, Michael Pascucci is a member of Nassau, and will have the 2013 Womens's Open at the course he owns, and the 2014 Us Women's AM at the course he first joined.
