The amount of rain received lately has made the bunker maintenance difficult, so that didn’t affect my rating.

The greens are coming back slowly, but that is expected. This is what has to be done to keep the greens rolling. So if they are junk for a couple of weeks, then so be it.

The course needs a solid couple of weeks of warm, dry weather to get itself back to into shape. It needs more time now than anything.

The worst part is the ball marks. Guys just aren’t fixing them out there, and that is unfortunate.

I’ll be back next week.
