Played FDR today and the course was in great shape, as it usually is. The first par 4 could use some better fairway grass on the last 50-75 yds--- the next one is quite good all the way up. All the greens seemed pretty firm, hard to hold for a hacker like me. Most were quite vast. However, some pin placements were downright vicious. On one (#9), we had a 8-10 footer that broke about 3-4 inches. I barely touched the ball, it lipped the cup, almost stopped a foot past the hole, then took a sharp right turn and rolled off the front of the green. A birdie quickly became a bogey. But damn it was fun anyway.
