Second chance was at the bathroom but no you couldn't fill a cup due to lack of pressure. Third chance at last water station didn't have any water period!!! Sorry but this is unacceptable!! Remember the good old days when the ambassadors drove up and asked if you wanted some cold water; they say they can't do it safely any more when you ask. Just another example of poor golf management; or as they like to say blame it on the weather!!
Most villagers have a cooler on their golf cart. I played Evans Prairie in this afternoon’s heat and brought two large power aid zeros, a couple bottles of water, and a cold beer for the last hole. All were nice and cold when I drank them. I wouldn’t trust drinking anything that I didn’t know its source. And the conditions at EP were very good : )
