The Course is Open

Well guys carts were out, light lunch available and the BS thick. As expected the weather was great today and the course survived the winter well. The only negative is the number of trees that have been taken down. While most of them were not in play several will be missed unless they are replaced. Eric says the budget is tight but he is working on what can be done. The course is surprisingly dry and part of that is a tribute to Eric and his crew for the drainage work they have done over the last several seasons. The greens aren't bad for the middle of March, and will only get better as the weather gets better.


We didn't keep score and for good reason. There was a lot of rust being knocked off every one's game. Tom T did have a couple of very good holes (for a change), so maybe he'll come back with his $5. Even Dean S was on fire and played with the same ball for 18 holes. If you know Dean then you know what a feat that was. No winners in the "Shake of the Day ", so the pot continues to grow.


The weather may not be this good the rest of the week so we'll play it by ear. Thursday will be a go if no rain.
