On March 30th I played Talega with my 89 year old Dad. He is a member of the Pacific Club just down the street from Talega, but I convinced him that we should Talega. The weather was fantastic, but that is as good as it got.

When we arrived for our 12:08 start time, we were told that there were not any carts available as they had over booked the course. Then, we had to haul our own clubs down to the practice green because the crew was too busy to do it for us. Next we were told that our start would be delayed 30 minutes (which it was) because of the cart shortage.

More of a problem was that we were playing behind a tournament. The entire tournamnet group seemed to spend more time at the beer cart than on their golf. The course was littered with c%ck tail glasses starting with the first tee. There no supervision of the pace of play. We had to wait on every shot on every hole, the entire round. We did not finish play until after 6:00 PM. On many holes, there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. I expect this type of "experience" when I play a municipal course. I do not expect it when I pay what Talega charges.

Needless to say, my Dad and I did not have a good experience.
