My trials and tribulations with Olde Sycamore continue. Showed up for my twosome tee time at 1:18, noticed as I drove up that a mower was in the middle of the 1st fairway with lots of mown grass everywhere. Then I notice the parking lot is full, and, yep, you guessed it, an outing. So I ask at the pro shop what is happening with the outing, and I’m told: “They are a 1:00 shotgun from holes 1-6, so it won’t be any problem for you. !?! – No problem?!? A twosome teeing off 2 holes behind an outing?!? It get’s better: mistakenly, I decide we will go ahead and try to play, so I hand over my card and mention I am a senior, and I’m told “That will be $49”. I point out that the website lists the Friday senior rate at $39, and I’m told “this is a h! oliday weekend, so holiday rates apply”. On Friday?!? Going out behind an outing?!? So I call Charlotte National, get a 1:40 tee time, and pay $29 to play in perfect conditions and a 4 hour round. Olde Sycamore just doesn’t make it easy to want to play there.
