We got 15 holes in at Mallory before the skies opened up and the downpour came. Coures in good shape from T boxes to greens but did think the greens were a little slow for my liking but very playable.

Played Palmer (Laurel to Cherry) today and the course is in absolute fabulous condition at least till tomorrow when they aerate the greens. Really though, the greens were smooth and fast and ball rolled true. The rough is growing and the ball will sink almost out of sight in it. Tough to get it out of the high stuff . Interupted a few minutes by rain but then great afterwards

Played Lopez Friday and was really disappointed in the condition of the greens . They were aerated back on 8/5/11 and have not healed completely yet. Very bumpy and impossible to keep a putt on line. Just thought 14 days would be ample time for the greens to heal from being aerated.
Played Mallory today and these greens were in excellent condition. Very fast and true. Only downside to todays round was that it was cart path only for the majority of our round. They did lift that restriction on our last 4 holes.

Read in the paper that Bogart, Bacall, and Havana have been closed until Tuesday due to the heavy rains last Friday night.

I heard that too and was surprised that Bacall was closed. I played it yesterday about 11 and it wasn't in bad shape for having absorbed 5 inches of rain. One new water hazard in the 9th fairway.

Bogart I could understand...the bridge on the #8 hole can go underwater on a heavy rain.

All of the bunkers took a nasty hit and will need to be re-groomed.

But, all in all, the courses drain pretty well. Let's hope Irene doesn't test us too much at the end of the week.

Played Southern Star yesterday afternoon... #1 was closed, due to the water. Same for Yankee Clipper #1... the pond between the holes is way out over its banks, over the cart path and into the adjacent fairways...

Couple other holes on Southern had new water features...

Havana has been getting a heavy dose of water yesterday and today as they are working to lower the pond levels. Friday night the bridge on hole #1 of Killimanjaro was under water. It has now subsided to about 2' below the bridge. With the course closed until Tuesday I am curious as to what I will find when I play Killimanjaro on Tuesday.

Picture below was taken this am and is the #4 tee box on Turtle Mound.

Thanks for sharing that! Makes me wonder if I should have gone for a 6 inch lift kit for my cart instead of 3 inch

Played Glenview yesterday afternoon. Course in very good condition even with the heavy rain we recently had. There were still some wet areas you needed to avoid.Lately have noticed more gravel in the sand traps than before and this was especially true at Glenview.

Played Truman today and the bunkers are all washed out. We were told not to play them, just to lift our ball out without penalty. The course's bunkers are going to need a lot of labor and money, I imagine, to get back in shape. One of the larger bunkers in partially under water because of the flooded pond. Still had fun, though.

I've noticed the gravel in the traps as well, mostly at Lopez, but I do remember a couple of holes at Glenview. Either they got some bad loads of sand, or they are going the cheap route and ordering cheaper types of sand.

spk7951 - cool picture - thanks for sharing!

Played Cane Garden today for the first time in a long while. Word of mouth is that Habiscus was still not up to par, we avoided it and played Jacaranda to Alamanda. Both of these nines were in good shape, maybe not up to Palmer's conditions but very playable. Greens were at a good speed and very few bad spots and most of these were on the edges of the green. It's good to have Cane back in playable shape because I always liked it.

Played Hibiscus on Friday and conditions were excellent and no restrictions. It was better than Jacaranda.

That's good to hear. I'd like to play Cane a couple of times while I'm here this week.
