Played Lopez today, Torrie to Erin,.Course , all of it, in beautiful playing condition.
No, none, comparison to the courses south of 466A.

Maybe a few letters from golfers to the Morses would help.

Probably the best solution to the bad green issue, is to prepare your own at home .That way you can have them the way you like them every time. My personal preference is to wilt them a bit in a saute pan, although this doesn't seem to work with the hardier varieties found in the south. Those would be better boiled with a fat source, such as smoked ham hocks, until tender.

:D

Was that supposed to be a joke ??????

I thought it was funny....................
Sure beats the pi%^ing contest about the good and the bad evaluations of the same courses.:beer3:

To the OP (and all the other whiners) - what courses are you whining about that has the bad greens? I played Lopez Tuesday, Havana yesterday, Bonifay this morning and Cane Garden this afternoon; ALL HAVE GREAT GREENS.

Again, what courses have you been playing?

I've played a few of the championships and I would say that they have decent greens. The only one that I would say that they greens were exceptional was Lopez which I played last October.

Palmer, Hacienda, Tierra del Sol, and OBG are just OK. I wouldn't complain about them, but I wouldn't describe them as great.

Many of the executives have some serious problems. What's puzzling to me is that as I play the executives, I see a lot of projects going on that don't make a lot of sense while not much is being done about serious problems.

Belle Glade is terrible

Having played it last week...I couldn't agree more. :swear:

Belle Glade is worse than terrible!!

The fairways are fine, but the greens are shot.

Doc, I always enjoy your perspective on golf subjects. I have putted on greens where you worked when trying to qualify for things…

Here is my opinion as subjective as any other. Even when the greens are good here they are not even close to what I played in MA. I can count on one hand the number of times when I was in a round here and thought, these greens are really good. One time was at Palmer. They were smooth and as important (to me) fast. I watched with pleasure at my competitors (teen handicappers) having no clue how to putt on greens this quick. I am a bit embarrassed I got pleasure out if that :evil6:.

I am not talking about private clubs in MA, I am talking about courses like Foxboro where I was a member. It was a blue collar club back in the day. All they cared about was the greens, sometimes they s*cked and that was all the members talked about, but ,most of the time they were awesome and that is all the members talked about. I once brought a friend for a member guest and he asked me the line of a 10 foot putt, he thought it was left edge. I then told him if I were to hit this I would play about 3 feet of break AND I would hit it as if it was a 3 foot putt.

Those were great greens, what we have here are OK when they are in good shape which I will live with. Just my opinion.

You really can't compare bent/poa greens to Bermuda. But I have played on some excellent Bermuda greens in different parts of Florida. Like I said, I played Lopez last October and they were excellent. The greens on the championships that I've played have been mediocre at best. I wouldn't complain about them, but I can see people who have been playing on Bermuda for a long time might think that they're excellent.

I didn't know you were a member at Foxboro. Bob Day and I were good friends. In fact, I interviewed for the job there when he left. It's a very nice course and the greens are very nice, but they're not even close to being the best in Massachusetts or new England.

I've never seen Bermuda fairways cut this high. They're OK, but I'd like to see them cut down a bit.
