What a friggin disappointment !

The greens were just horrendous !

Not diseased, bare spots or anything like that . Best as I can describe is a series of small, puffy , subtle waves making up the entire greens. ALL OF THE GREENS WERE THE SAME .

They were very SLOW and if you wanted to have a straight put , GOOD LUCK !!

I’m not a greens keeper and apparently the folks that maintain there courses are not either but common sense to tell you that they need to be cut and rolled ….

The rest of the course WAS decent ….
Sure sounds like rolled for sure ! Wonder if this is a technique for this unusually hot and dry weather... like they tell us to do with our lawns, NOT stress them by allowing them to grow higher than usual in this weather ?
