630 am tee time with the old guys. Place was busy early and stayed steady throughout the day. Santa Anita, why do your greens have to be so slow? The putting green at the store is literally faster and rolls better than SA did today. d%mn ! Tee Boxes: Some were good and some are bad. Its a constant thing there, just depends on where they put the markers on the tee. Fairways: Looks like the summer grass is going dormant so it gives a slight British Open feel when you meander down the fairways The usual cart path trouble spots are all the same but the fairways were pretty good although 2 was like 1st cut rough in the middle of the fairway. Some of the fairways were dirt and hardback due to poor drainage so some sidehill lies were pretty barren. Bunkers: Ditched those things today and stayed sand free. Rough: Rough is the rough, pretty standard like most of the courses, nothing too brutal. Greens: Jesus wept!!!! Man! Could these greens be any slower!? 45 bucks to walk and the greens are literally slower than the blunt rollers and beer smugglers Los Feliz 3 Par games Friday night. Don't get me wrong, pounding beer and slow putting is the best however for 45 bucks at least let the greens roll. The greens were cut and some holes were poc'd up but its kinda the usual at the public courses. Its not like the greens aren't maintained they're just slow and very textured. Santa Anita could be so much better if they could put some more care into the course. There are great views and some scenic holes but its for sure spendy compared to other courses in the area that will for sure provide better course conditions and certainly better green speeds for the price.
