The Ottawa Region courses took a beating... Marshes, the Hunt Club, the Royal Ottawa etc. etc.....courses which are normally at least 9 out of 10 wrt condition, all hurting this year. We need to reflect on the fact that this is a strange season with strange weather leading up to and continuing into mid-season play.
We've had many a good year... but this just isn't one. We need to support all our courses during this tough, tough season and recognize that they are doing their best with what Mother Nature is providing...which, to this point, has not been much! And again, IMHO.
