"Great course"
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 wish all of us golfers would just simply state the conditions of the course rather than try to act like we are experts in the turfgrass field. I see all too many times people make comments that couldnt be more false. Recently there have been two posts about courses greens being overtaken by “Poa Annua”, this seems very unlikely considering it is a winter season grass. Sure we all know carolina trail courses are garbage, but I highly doubt it has poa annua. Lets leave the turf diagnostics up to the experts who work their a**es off to keep our courses looking great
Poa annua?!? I called it poa anna! And yes, I was wrong. Please replace all my “poa anna” comments with “wrong grass” or “bad grass”. As for those hardworking greens keepers, where are they? The state of public golf is sad, there just aren’t enough courses with real course superintendents who are paying attention to the overall course conditions. Let’s give credit to the courses that seem to be really trying and/or willing or able to spend the money. The top of that list for me is Glen Oaks, Verdict Ridge, Red Bridge.
