I noticed the Traqmatz leading onto t-boxes when I played El Campeon at Mission Inn last week. Sounds like an expensive option not really suitable for $4 golf.

The lack of detail in the report was annoying. There was reference to TifDwarf greens having more problems than others, but it wasn't noted which courses have that and which don't. And trees? Heron has some trees, but several others that went bad don't have trees that shade any greens. And the main picture they showed of trees was on the right side of the fairway at Silver Lake #2.

And I couldn't help but think of Mike Pence when the author, referring to Mitch Leininger, said "His pivotal role in keeping management companies focused, managing member expectations, and preparing for future renovations and projects is crucial to maintaining these golf courses. His efforts should be recognized as monumental in accomplishing these tasks."
