Soon a Boycott will be in place??
LOL, let everyone know how the boycott is working. The courses are super busy.

Good to know, finally got to play Thorney Lea couple of years ago and loved it. Can't blame the Super for staying with the city (at least until he gets that pension time) that's got to be a nice gig to have

Played Fox Run 9 at Glenview Yesterday. The greens were aerated with
large holes and sanded heavily. Playable but not much fun to putt on.
So much for aerification schedules.

Totally agree! $65 is a lot of money for "rough" greens and surrounding grass . . . frankly, for that kind of money, they can rake the sand traps after my useage which, fortunately, isn't that often!!!! Just sayin . . . .

Played Mangrove at 7:11 today. Grass on tees. Greens playable , Ive seen there in a year.

However, I repaired an average of three ball strikes on each green. If this keeps up greens will be screwed up again in a month. Ambassadors have a device to repair pock marks left by ignorant golfers , but in ten years I have only seen it used a handfull of times. Is the job description "ride around in cart and do nothing useful"???

Played Hemingway and Kilimanjaro last week and both were in good condition.

Played Cane Garden Hibiscus to Jacaranda yesterday and greens were nice,. Fairways a little thin.

I am waiting to hear the outcome of the boycott, the courses are packed. Guess it is not working!

Really??? You think a golf employee should rake your trap? Even PGA touring professionals have their own caddy that rakes the trap, employees of Augusta National have better things to do:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Doubt it. But golf etiquette demands that you fix YOUR OWN pitch mark. (Do you play in the same foursome as the guy who wants the ambassadors to rake his trap?:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:)

Played what?

dewilson58 05-06-2021 02:34 PM
Monday.............Cane was in great shape.
Tuesday............Mallory was pretty good shape, but the Gold Tees need some TLC.

dewilson58 05-06-2021 02:35 PM
LaPlaya today, really good shape.
