First day out after one week shut down for tee aeration, collar treatments, and tree trimming. Thankfully they didn't touch the greens, or it would have lowered an already dreadful rating.

Typical summer conditions with many fairways burnt out as the overseeded winter rye grass dies off waiting to get redone at the end of September. Been this way for at least six summers in a row with management always claiming that they have learned from past mistakes. They could have pulled the trigger in 2020 when the idea was floated to re-grass the course (with corresponding irrigation replacement) but Covid and cheap ownership got in the way. New owner is beginning to spend some money but not sure he wants to spend $10-15 million to completely update golf course that is held together with band aids.

Greens are in good condition, soft and medium fast. Membership still needs to learn how to fix ball marks as the dozen groups in front of us seemed to think someone else would do it for them. As noted, fairway grass very thin on probably nine scattered holes and soaked in spots creating mud balls in 95 degree heat. Visually, a real disappointment. But we have to live with it for a few months. POP was 4 hours. Carts are $30 each/pp. C'mon, $60 for a cart??
