I agree with Cabo on conditions with one comment. I thought the greens were quite slow. They looked nice enough, but were sticky, maybe growth in afternoon wave, unlikely, but?? Not asking for Augusta or even Palmer, but just a bit more speed. With that said it is not a reason to NOT play there, but I think the $8 uptick is worth it for Palmer for the rest of the month.

PS. Summer rates are around the corner
