Thanks jrheydt - My spouse played that rotation a week or so ago, and had the same comments. I've been avoiding the course like the plague, based on previous play there this summer. Maybe its time to give it a try. It looks like they will be overseeding the course this year which is nice. On another note, I truly hope Lopez gets enough water for overseeding.
