I got to play this place today with my boss, who is a member.

Was my first time playing there. Teed it up from the blue tees and hit the ball pretty good but putted AWFUL...as did everyone else in our foursome. The greens were TREACHEROUS being very firm and very, very fast...I'm guessing a true 11 or 12 on the stimpmeter with lots of break and lots of rollout (the extra two or three feet the ball rolls after you think its going to stop).

Can't wait to play it again now that I am familiar with the course. Next time, I'll remember not to hit it to certain places on the greens. As for my score, well, I think I'll skip that part...

Played yesterday. Best drive of the day was the last hole. Was a 300+ yd par 4. Beast of a drive, was about 80 yds from the pin. That's when it all went down hill. Squibbed my wedge shot into a sand trap in front of the green. Took me 3 shots to get out as I kept hitting the lip of the trap, then 2 putted. Also appeased the water gods on another hole. Wound up with a 54, not happy, but that one drive will get me back next week.

86 on Friday. 41/45. 3 doubles and a triple.
