Lopez on Monday was in very good shape, just in case you don't think I'm fair. If you play in a group with 5 and 6 handicap players you might accept their opinion about deplorable conditions. If you play with 30 handicappers you probably wouldn't have a basis for knowing.

Well, EXCUSE US. All we were trying to do was gain some insight into what specifically goes into a course being "deplorable". I didn't know that you had to be a single digit handicap to understand course conditions. It's just that it seems reasonable that to classify a course that way there may be some specifics that would enlighten us ignorant higher handicappers so we, too, can rant about the conditions. Sorry that doing so would be a waste of your time. Frankly, if you walk into golf administration offices with the elitist attitude you present in this thread, I would expect them to respond in kind and give you their "lame" excuses to get you out of there.
