    Current course conditions

    I don't want to use the " f " word so i'll classify this as "current course conditions"
    My reason being that it seems that most courses will be or already are, punching greens.

    You should call and ask before you play ,as i only found out they were punching greens when i turned up on the first tee box (i know , i should have asked)

    First up is Greensmere , played yesterday ,Brutally slow (9 holes closed), i gave up after 6 holes(1hr 55mins) ,greens are punched , and obviously in poor shape, the rest of the course though is good.(i did get a coupon for $10 off my next mon-thurs round)

    Irish hills , great condition , greens a little firm ,not punched yet, but a pleasant surprise for overall condition.
    Anybody else ?
    At the end of the day ... It gets dark

    SB was punched the week of the 11th. They were starting to get better last weekend and should be fine this weekend.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    Manderley was not aerated as of this morning. Greens are pretty good, tee boxes less so.

    Greens at Pebble Beach were running quite well this morning. Gotta give props to the Greenskeeper (Programmers at EA Sports).

    Just came back from Arnprior today, and a lot of greens there have dead patches and still show signs of being punched recently. I had a lot of balls that hit the greens and were stuck in the divot half burried. Other than that course is in good shape.

    Even with the less than stellar greens, it was worth playing? (I'm playing Sunday)

    I just played there 2 days back to back. Some of the greens are good. Ruff isn't too thick. Fairways are great !! I would still go back even considering the greens.

    Gropper was with me yesterday so if he is around he could chime in about the conditions providing he isn't at the hospital awaiting the arrival of the new addition !!

    Hey, maybe she will only deliver on the 14th!!!!!!! That way you two could play and then you could drop her off at the hospital on the way home after golf Ya think she would go for that?

    I took my wife ziplining in quebec about two weeks after giving birth to our 2nd. Told her she needed the exercise - To note, don't use that line it didn't work so well but she still came.
    Lots of yoga pants these days, not enough Yoga!

    Chateau Cartier

    Played today. Course in good shape and greens are good and fast. No punching, yet. Could have been a little better at getting the traps up to snuff earlier, but if I had not been in them so much it would not have mattered.

    anderson, meadows

    anderson links on Tuesday was punched and very bumpy - not a fair test of putting. Meadows today was fine, at least E/N. Rain kept away the crowds too - 3 hours and 5 min for 18. Love it.

    anyone know how greensmere is recovering from aeration? I'm playing on Monday, and don't need stellar conditions, but am hoping it will be playable?

    Falcon Ridge

    Playing Falcon Ridge for the first time in 4 years tommorrow morning. Any opinions on the current conditions, and the playability with the updates made this season there?
    Slice, hook, or straight down the middle. It all looks the same on the score card.

    Played Loch March yesterday. Beauty day to say the least. Greens were in great shape, didn't have evidence of being punched yet. Overall conditions were very good.
