The maintenance alert indicated that Rec had aerated the greens on 9/7 so I had braced myself for rough greens. It took me 4 shots to get to the first green but when I finally walked up on it I was pleasantly surprised to find it in pristine condition. I rolled in a smooth one-putt for bogey.

Tee'd off at 6:30 (actual tee time was 6:22). Finished nearly 5 hours later which is not acceptable. There were quite a few groups in front of us. Given that it is not light enough to hit until around 6:25, many of the groups in front had no idea how dark it was going to be when they tee'd off.

As I mentioned, the greens were in excellent shape. My understanding is that Rec did not aerate on 9/7 because it would have interfered with the Men's Club championship. It was indicated that aeration would take place some time in October.

The tee boxes and fairways had been aerated but they were still playable. No complaints from me about overall course conditions.
