Thanks for the reply and I agree that it would be nice to know in advance when the fairways are gonna be aerated... Would not stop me from playing that course but something I would like to know .

Try calling the course you want to schedule and ask about fairway aeration. Worked for me.

Played Hacienda Hills (Palms to Lake) today . Course conditions are improving but still not up to the conditions of Palmer, Lopez or Havana but very playable. Some really wet spots; not sure if from rain or a sprinkler malfunction.

Being I'm alone any particular courses I should gravitate toward playing given conditions and my desire to meet people. How much in advance do I need to sign up to paired with others. I won't have my pass until I arrive so I don't think I can go into the system to get a Tee time. Also not being used to the summer Florida heat what is best time to play, early morning or late afternoon. What time do tine courses open and close?
I'm used to CT not Florida although last week it was 102 degrees in Hartford and 93 in TV. I was telling everyone that I was going to TV to cool down. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Hi Larry,

I am always willing to play a game of golf. I would be happy to meet up with you for a game and you answer any questions you might have about TV. I am a new resident but we are learning quick and are very happy with our retirement choice. Send me a private message and we can schedule a day.

Played Lopez(Torri to Erin ) today. Fairways on both nines have recently been aerated but was not a big deal. The greens were in fantastic conditions and nice and fast. Very enjoyable round and course was almost deserted.

Thanks Schotzyb, we're playing there Tuesday - I'll be looking forward to it! Also glad to hear Hacienda is improving. I've always liked the layout there, but the conditions had gotten so bad, I refused to play it for awhile. Hopefully they can get it back up to snuff.

Played Orange Blossom today and barely finished before the rain came. Greens are in very good condition. Fairways are just ok with lots of bare spots in the rough alongside the fairways. Really like that they are letting the rough ground around the greens. No putting if you are of to one side or the other of the green but you can if directly in front of the green.

Played Havana (Hemingway to Kenya) today. Course in absolutely perfect shape. Greens were extremely fast and true. Very enjoyable round.. Glenview up next(Monday)

Just a question. Do you play golf every day? You must have a great wife who works to pay your green fees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[schotzyb]

Some of us are just lucky I guess. By the way, how was your round? LOL

Played Havana yesterday and the course was in very nice shape. I think it was Kilimanjaro that had some remnants of fairway aerification, but no big deal. Greens were sweet, although my putting was not too great. My other comment about pretty much all the courses now, is that the rough has grown in, and is much more of a consideration than it is in the winter. Played Palmer the other day, and the rough really cost me a few shots. Keep it in the short grass!

Played Palmer Thursday, Cherry Hill to Laurel Valley, and it is in great shape. Some minor remnants of fairway aeration left on Cherry Hill but nothing of an issue. Greens were fast and in great condition.

Mallory and Cane scheduled for this week, so we shall see how they are.

Played Glenview yesterday and found course to be in very good condition from T boxes to the greens. Greens were very smooth and fast.Enjoyable round.

I played there a couple of weeks ago and it was very nice. I wonder if all the rain we've had in the last day or so, has made the course very wet. Seems like the drainage at Glenview can be problematic at times.

With the rain the last couple of days the only play I could get in, so far this week, was nine on Caroline Monday. Fairways and greens are in great condition. Aeration and rain is helping in a big way.
