Default Walnut Grove

We played Walnut Grove yesterday in the 20 MPH gusting to 25-30 MPH winds. These high winds had a definite effect on the game including putting.

This challenging Level 3 played more like a Level 4 πŸ˜†

The overall condition of the course is still very good but sadly, the pesky weeds noted on my review from a couple of months remains an issue.

Two months ago I spoke with PRO at Lopez about this issue and pointed out that Laurel Oak had the same issue to a much greater degree and how they were able to completely eradicate the problem within about 30 days !

I suggested that the maintenance manager from Lopez should communicate with the maintenance manager @ Southern Oaks to see what was used to get rid of those weeds. I have a feeling that Steve blew me off ! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Back to the review, aside from some pesky weeds on <some> of the greens, they were VERY fast yesterday. Whoever decided on the pin placements must have been really ticked off about something !

The tee boxes were in good shape and tee to greens was plush and green…..

Despite the random weeds, the course still deserves an A rating.

Playing there Wednesday. I always felt the pin placement for that day was due to how the pin setter and his better half got along the night before. My guess!
