Played Glenview today and it was 100% improvement from a few weeks ago. It was actually enjoyable. A few nights of rain works wonder. Now we can use some more.

Our Friday group played Havana today and everyone was very pleased with the condition of the course including T boxes , fairways and greens, Greens a tad slow but very playable.

I played Tierra a couple of days ago, and have to say the greens are nothing special - quite bumpy. The fairways were decent though.

Looks like TV is getting some rain on a regular basis. Has it helped course conditions? We'll be back "home " in 3 weeks!

We have been getting some rain finally, but most of the rain seems to avoid TV. It is amazing to watch tha radar and see giant blobs of green and orange dissapate, split or just slide north or south seemingly to avoid TV. With that said we are getting some rain and IMO the courses are becoming better.

PS. My lawn looks much better also.

It has been interesting watching the radar the last few days and getting hardly any rain at our house. My Tuesday group tried to play nine on Virginia this past Tuesday but on the 4th hole it started to rain and we could see heavier rain coming in from the west. We decided to wait it out but a couple of claps of thunder quickly changed our minds, so we headed to the Mallory clubhouse for rain checks. Over at Mallory no rain but it did start as we were leaving there. Back home in Hadley, nothing. Never got any rain at our house on Tuesday.

PS: The four holes I did get to play on Virginia were in very good condition.

Most storms split before they reach Hadley and then pass North and South of us. Must be because Gracie left us. Or perhaps it's the dog doo DNA thing that der Shadow posted.

Played Glenview Stirrup cup to Tally Ho. Course looking good.

OK nice rains this week (so says the computer)so how are the courses. We are returning home July 18 and need my "fix" of Glenview, Lopez and Palmer......

We played Tierra Del Sol yesterday. Back nine was cart path only which was a little excessive we thought. Only saw standing water on one hole . Could understand rough only but saw no reason for cart path only. Fairways and T boxes were nice and plush. Greens were really "bumpy" and slow. Also lots of medium size holes that were on some but not all greens. Ambassador informed us they were thought to be made by the Sand Cranes.

Played Palmer Laurel to Riley on Wednesday and thought it was in pretty good shape. (And since then we have had over 4" of rain at my house in Hadley). Fairways were good and most of the greens also, but we did find a couple of greens had some small bad areas that needed attention.

Tuesday we played nine on Amelia and it too is in very good shape following the extended closing. Only issue was cart path only on #2 up to the 1st bunker and on #9 to the 150 markers.

Played Caroline to Amelia this AM before the storms.

Played Havana (Kenya to Hemingway) Monday and found the course to be in really good shape. The greens were a tad slow; appeared they had not been cut maybe due to the heavy rain. Only #2 on Kenya was cart path only. No restrictions on any of the other 17 holes.

Played Cane Garden today (Hibiscus to Jacaranda) and was really disappointed in the lack of improvement in the conditions of the course over the past 3 months or so. All the other courses we have played lately have really improved with the rain we have getting but not Cane Garden. Fairways are patchy at best and greens (all) have diseased spots spread out on them. It will be another 3 months before I try it again.

I try to play every day and always keeping an eye on the weather. Friday afternoon, I was at Hill Top and the clouds were ominous and you could hear the thunder. I got in all 9 holes but, suffered a wasp sting after a wasp got under my shorts on the 7th hole! I still managed to Birdie the 9th hole and did not get wet.. The wasp lived to sting another day.
