I wonder, if a hole in one cost you at the bar, why is a double eagle free?

Played Glenview, Fox Run/Stirrup Cup this morning. After a brief frost delay we started around 8:30. Started us on 4tth hole so we only got to do 15.

Course was in good shape. Fairways were green and softened up from the rain. Greens were in good shape. Looks like great golf weather for the next week.

Havana had better success with the fall overseeding than some other courses - at least according to their Ambassadors.

We are also prejudiced as we live near #5...

Yes. Unfortunately, the timing of the overseed had a lot to do with the result. Rain was so sporadic during the fall that some courses were overseeded and go some rain soon after to help germination, while others go little or no rain, so germination was spotty. Hopefully next year we will have a more normal fall and the overseed will take better on all the courses.

Played Hacienda Hills today and have to say there is no improvement in the fairway conditions even though there are twigs of green grass. Fairways extremely hard and fast. Greens were not that great either,also very hard.

I played Tierra today and was pretty happy with the conditions. A few weeks ago it looked pretty bleak, but IMO was very playable today. The greens had filled in nicely, now if they would just lower the mowers

What a beautiful morning to be playing golf

We were back again as well. (Funny how that tee time system works that way sometimes). Play was a bit slower - and it looked as if the greens had been cut a bit. Just a few where bald, bumpy spots made for putting challenges.

Of course, maybe I just thought it was better as I was 4 strokes lower today - despite having to wait at every hole but one...

And yes - it was a spectacular day to play golf....LML

Played Orange Blossom today and have to say that it is right up there with Glenview for being in really good condition. Fairways extremely plush and only recall one green with a bad spot and that was #11 and it has been tended to. It appears as there is no shortage of water there as fairways and rough alike were very soft from being watered heavily.

I played Lopez today. The course is in beautiful shape...fairways and greens are GREEN.

They did do a great job with Orange Blossom this year. I hear it is a different maintenance company than they had last year. The fairways are really nice and green with a good cushion to hit off of, and I've always liked their greens.

played Glenview today. Course in very good shape,well worth playing.

Played Havana, Kilimanjaro-Kenya, yesterday - fairways good - not quite as good as Palmer - Greens were in good shape. Anybody play Cane lately?

[schotzyb]

Cabo,
Played Cane last week; avoid it if at all possible. It and Hacienda Hills are the worse of the lot. Fairways, rough and greens all hard as concrete. Orange Blossom, Nancy Lopez and Glenview all are really great right now.
