Screwed up 4some
I get to the course with more than half an hour to spare hoping to practice some putting. The 3some I had booked with were ready to go so I didn't get a chance to pracie. I rush to the first T to find out the 3some brought a 4th and the golf course was not aware so the guys were getting one for free. I ended up having to play with 2 elderly women, what a screw up. I guess that is what happens when you don't book with the course. Great course but awkward situation.

Challenging
Sand traps need work. Wet and hard. Several blind spots exposing other golfers. Greens in good shape. Starter allowed 3 foursomes to play ahead of my wife and I because we were only 5 minutes early for our tee off reservation. Quite upset. Not sure we will return. Too bad because we belong to Cal-Am group. Cheers.

Driver needs to be working to have any hope of a good round. Greens in good shape. Sand traps need work (hard and wet in areas). Hope to try it again in the future. Cheers!
