I've only been here for just under 3 months and have played Palmer, Cane Garden, and Bonifay. I've been pretty pleased with the conditions at those places and I hope to expand to other places in the future.

Yes I see unrepaired pitch marks and the occasional unraked bunker. However, instead of complaining about it, I walk around the green and fix the ones I see; especially in the early morning rounds where it appears it is too cold for most others (gives me plenty of time to walk around and look for opportunities). And if I find myself in a bunker, I rake my spot and any other spots I see that went unraked; same with divots. I have no control what others do, but I have control over what I choose to do when I see something.

I've been enjoying playing nice courses at reasonable prices for a change (the good public courses in my old neck of the woods were all over 100 per round; mid-level in the 80s). And I love being able to go to nearby exec course after work to play 9 for free and get some iron practice and exercise (I walk those). So far, TV has met my expectations, and then some, for golfing. Still can't believe I live minutes away from multiple golf courses and a practice facility.
