Played Greystone yesterday. Great shape. Denham folks lucky to have that place. I loved the front nine. Greens were perfect.

Let's just say I walked onto number ten with a dozen balls and left with six.

In all fairness, a few holes on the back are far wider than your eye believes off the tee. If that makes sense.

Just left Santa Maria, practice green and putting green have been punched and sanded. Pretty aggressively , I would assume tha golf course has been also. Just a heads up

I've learned to stay away from testing that hole. Par is a great score. I take 4 iron off the tee and live another day if I hit fairway from 160 out.

Yep. 12 opens up past the trees on the right. 14 and 16 have wide landing areas, 17 if you stay short of the junk. Driver isn't necessary on any hole.

I strong armed my 4 hybrid and hooked it. I was just too nervous at how narrow the hole looked after playing the front. Drop shot was just bad golf. I only lost two balls on #10 and the other four on the rest of the back to clarify! I look forward to playing it again.

84 w/ 1 birdie. I left 4 others short. I hit my wedges like shite. The driver was the only thing working

78 at Beaver with an eagle and two doubles. I bladed 6 wedges. So that felt great.

I snapped hooked drives on 10 11 12 14 and topped one on 5. I feel your pain.

I was catching everything a hair fat. I think I was biting 1” behind the ball instead of ball first. So close to being good. frick this game

La cantera is San Antonio. Palmer course.

Highlights were birdie on 10, the snack shop hot dogs and getting sunscreen on my eyes

Nice place. Fresh punched greens, but still nice. Few weeks they will be primo

Played Gulf Hills in Ocean Springs. The course was in bad condition. So bad that the #7 had the “green” cut into the fairway. The course has potential but it needs a LOT of TLC.

Went through 2 sleeves of balls so WYS is irrelevant

Made a Destin trip this past week. Played the Links at Sandestin. First time playing and I was impressed by the quality. It was in really good shape. Fun course with some nice views. Then played Kelly a couple days later. I have played a few times before, but this is without a doubt the best shape I have seen it in. Perfect. Would highly recommend if you are heading that way anytime soon! Finished off with a round at The Oaks on the way back home. Great shape per usual, but it was CPO as they have had a ton of rain recently.

Granada in Hot Springs Village. Fairways were lush and greens in pretty good shape. Green speed was posted as 9.7 but felt slower. Really pretty course. Unfortunately I hacked my way around finding a ton of bunkers and few fairways.

LaTour, great shape, hit it like shite, last 2 rounds is the worst I’ve been off the tee in years, maybe it’s time to retire the 2010 Titleist head, it has to be the driver and not me.

Played with Bandit. Held it together for 11 holes before La Taw’s Amen Corner (12-13-14) did me in. Course is in great shape tee to green. Rough was ridiculous. 2 yards off the fairway and you were searching for your ball.

74 st Old Colony. Fairways are hard and fast, so are the greens.

It’s shortened the course enough I broke my rule and went for it in 2 on #10 and put it 30 feet past the flag.

Can shoot a decent score if you keep it in the fairway (which I stopped doing after 14)
