Courses north of here in Marion county (near Ocala) are better in that they have been getting the rain that the villages has been missing. Several weeks ago (on a wednesday) at Ocala golden hills finished before the heavy rain that never materialized in the villages. Same the week before at Juliette Falls. In fact it never came south into our area.

Been here 8 years and have seen wet and dry years for golfing.

We played Spruce Creek North which is very close to Stonecrest this past Saturday and their fairways were superior to any here in the Village other than Palmer and Lopez and they were equal to them. Greens had been aerated 7-10 days ago and were healing nicely

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
