The stripe IS NOT an oil leak.....

It's a hydraulic leak from the greens mower......

The greens on Pelican have been sprayed with high amounts of Manganese and different nutrients, not to mention the amount of water on them....

They are a tad slow, but are getting thicker, which is good......

Played Cane Garden (Jacaranda&Allamanda) and both were in great shape. Greens, and fairways both very nice. Faiways fast but not real hard. Greens very nice; some had some "sandy" spots but all in all in great shape.

Played Palmer yesterday, in trmendous shape all around, greens are perfect. I know this is the most expensive course we play in TV's, and would, therefore, expect it to be in good shape, but really is exceptional right now. Well worth the 41 dollars for a priority member, and coming from south florida, is dirt cheap for a course of this quality. I made everything I looked at, greens so smooth. Shot 70, first time under par at Palmer for me.

Ok RCT - It's official - you're giving me 5 per side!

70? Nice!

Played Tierra Del Sol today and found the following as far as conditions go. Greens and "T" boxes in very good shape.Fairways not very good. More brown than green and very fast.

Just finished playing Mira Mesa executive, one of my favorite executive layouts. Fairways are marginal, greens have alot of grass on them, very very slow. I wish they were faster, but understand why they tend to keep exec greens slower, because alot of people playing them aren't exactly skilled golfers, so is a good thought to keeping them slower. All in all, worth playing, I guess, considering it Is part of our amenties!

Played Glen View Thurs. great shape. played TDS yesterday even better. Greens were beautiful at TDS.( medium fast)

Played Silver Lake executive tonight from 7 til dark. Is a fun little course, although out of the way for alot of TV's. Greens have ALOT of grass on them, and very slow, but at least they have grass, unlike a few other execs around right now. The fairways were pretty bare and tight, though. But, is a nice chance to get to see where the whole idea started, in the pre-historic section.

Played Oakleigh yesterday. Greens are in terrible shape. Husband says it's time for the grass change. On the other hand, played Belmont Friday and it was gorgeous.

[RCT]

Played Palmer again today, still in great shape, greens just a touch slower than last week, left a few 2 inches short. Shot 72. Reccomend snowbirds to play it before leaving.

[schotzyb]

Played Glenview this past Thursday and it is in very good condition as it has been for the last several times we played it

Played Nancy Lopez Friday and cannot say enough about the fantastic shape the greens were in. Very, very nice. Fairways also were in good shape. Made for a very enjoyable round

Today's rain will help all the courses.

[Indy-Guy]

The rain today will help all courses. This is the first rain in many weeks. I can't remember the last rain.

I've been following this thread with great interest since it began. Thanks RCT for starting it. I'm renting in TV for a month beginning April 1, and course conditions are very important to me. This will be my first visit, except for a half day stop in December driving thru the state, and I plan to get in lots of golf, hopefully at least once at each of the championship courses, as well as many of the execs.
Does anyone have any more info on current conditions at courses you've played recently? Have overall conditions improved with the rain? Thanks to all of you who have contributed so far.
