Olde Sycamore is now one of the more dependable public courses for conditions and rates. It is a fun layout where you don't need driver off the tee very often and I've played it for over 2 decades. So it feels like an old friend when I get back here to play. The greens...

  I sympathize with the plight of the local courses suffering from this and I will return to play them once the issues are corrected. Let’s do our best to support them.

  Meanwhile, a little further south… Stonebridge, Tega Cay and Carolina Lakes seem just fine (with a few spotty areas here and there).
