Same grass, same conditions....what gives? the par 4 fairways at palmetto are also notoriously poorly conditioned. You may as well be playing hard packed dirt...as a matter of fact hard packed dirt would play better.
Hard packed? Try the red dirt in Oklahoma. Once hit ball 350 yards. Bounces down the fairway like playing on concrete.
