Big Fat Sal, some dude that knows everything, said they should have the greens perfect in a couple of weeks. I think he said they just punched a week or two ago.

Played twice this weekend.

Played Friday at Quail Valley (El Dorado) in Missouri City, TX. This course held the Shell Houston Open in 1973. Don't want to even disclose my score. Extremely tough course, and to make matters worse, it was in terrible condition.

Played Sunday at Greatwood Golf Club in Sugar Land, TX. Shot much better, posting an 86. Was absolutely excellent off the tee, but the greens were SLICK. I left a lot of strokes on the greens with putts that just kept rolling and rolling. Great little course though, and in good condition.

I love my G30 though it's not treating me well today

Just made the turn. Shot 40 on the front. Only hit 3 fairways and 3 greens and had one 3 jack

I have never had slick greens at greatwood. They are usually decent, but never slick. I hate the final two holes on that course. THey always screw with my head. LAst time I played there I shot 40 on the front then 52 on the back. So frustrating hahaha

I played there a few weeks ago, and I will never go back. The greens were possibly the worst I have ever played. Worst part is I was playing great, but couldn't make anything over 3 feet because of all the grass popping up on the greens. Finished 89 with no help from the putter.

I have been out of the game for a couple weeks thanks to an ankle injury. Hoping to make it back out on the course this weekend though.

Yep. Similar situation with my round yesterday. Shot 42 on the front, and the only reason I was able to shoot 44 on the back was because of some very fortunate rolls on some bad chips.

Yeah the greens were unusually fast. It was my first time playing there, so I've got nothing to compare it to, but all my downhill putts were slippery. Barely tap the ball and now I'm left with a 7 footer coming back uphill. It was maddening.

Yeah it's sad. That course has a great layout, but they have let it go to shite. The greens sucked, and it has its share of impossible shots for the average weekend hacker. On a par 5 on the back 9, my drive went long into a fairway bunker. It was sunken so when I made contact it got out, but was stopped by carnoustie-ish trash rough on the lip. I lost my damn ball in that pile of shite. I eventually found it, and then had to use a wedge to hit out of that colossal mess which went about 20 yards. So all of a sudden I'm hitting 4 from the fairway at about where my first shot would have landed if it hadn't gone long.

I almost picked up my ball and drove back to the parking lot

Do you live in Sugar Land? Can you get me into any of the country clubs around there? Depending on your answers, we should maybe be friends hahaha

Hahaha yes I live in Sugar Land, but no I'm not a member anywhere. Was hoping they would build a nice country club in Telfair, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

I may look at joining Riverbend in 2-3 years though. Sweetwater CC is the tits, but their member roster is way too elite for me.


I doubt I will though. I'm a muni hacker at heart. I grew up on BREC.

I finished my first round today at 80 and walked it. One of my baws was walking up to the clubhouse as I finished so I jumped in the cart and played another 18 and shot 84 for the second round. Pretty good day for me anyway
