B-man,

Stop stalking me! It seems we were at the Links on the same day again…we’ve played the same courses on the same day a few times now!

Agree with you on conditions: fairways were lush and greens rolled true. Bunkers are still a mess. And in a town where very few people repair ball marks on greens…Links greens have chicken pox. I repaired about 5-6 ball marks on every green.

But for me, the killer on the Links is the pace of play. I tried to squeeze in a round at 5:30 p.m. and had to wait nearly 5 minutes for every shot. It was backed up like crazy…and it seems to be backed up every time I play the Links. It gets too much play and seems to attract Charlotte’s most inconsiderate golfers.
