The pursuit of perfection.
It's been a wet summer in Monmouth County, NJ as well. When you can play and its not "cart path only" the fairways are lush and the greens are beautiful. However, we are not getting the generous "Villages" roll on fairway drives because of the esthetically pleasing but thick, ball stopping, fairway grass. On the plus side, it is nice to be able to get under your fairway iron shots. We also lose lots of balls because if you hit just two feet off the fairway, the short rough is so thick your ball will be eaten by the "lush", long, dense grass. We are paying what would be considered winter premium rates in The Villages. I miss my golf buddies in The Villages and look forward to our return in September. Perhaps that's a hint at what's really important. The pursuit of perfection continues.
Thanks for posting conditions on our home courses. I enjoy reading the reviews and current conditions......even the ones that leave room for improvement by the management. How's the neighborhood Bogie?
