Mid season conditions

HAMMOND...
Played there today for first time in several months. Course in very good shape and greens a little tighter and running a little faster than I recall. Big change I noticed is a lot of work being done to clean out under the evergreens (other than the cedars) up to the 6' level. Makes finding errant shots a little easier and opens course up a bit. Would like to still see some definition behind some of the greens such as #17.

Played Loch March for the first time yesterday-------------lots of variation--nice course---all in decent condition BUT----the ^%&*% flies were ridiculous---there were times you were standing in a cloud. I have never in my whole life seen anything like that. Maybe the problem is too much standing water ???????????? Then around 4:30 the mosquitoes decided to join the flock--unreal.

It was 39.00 after 1:00.

That's one course I'm dying to try but have been avoiding like the plague because of the bugs.

it would be neat to have a "bug" index of some sort for area courses. In many ways, its just as important to me than any rating variable. I think the highland courses win out in this regard.

Meadows have punched the North 9 recently so "plinko putting " is all you should expect , but unfortunately that nine seems to have a grub issue too and the Skunks have torn up a few fairways too. The West nine was in fine shape , i'm not sure about east or south , you may want to call ahead to check if your considering playing it

Played Loch March this morning and the course was in decent shape , it's lost a bit of conditioning from a few years ago , eg the bunkers weren't even raked properly this morning and the course was fully booked all day .
Bugs weren't an issue if you put on some spray
Trees colours were spectacular though

Annual Fall excursion to Oaks of Cobden today. That course just never lets you down! Fantastic tee to green, greens in perfect shape albeit a little longer than norm and scenery to die for with all the Fall colours showing in full splendour! Beautiful day, beautiful course in the beautiful Ottawa Valley!

Anderson Links
Played weekly game there today, East/West. All holes punched, fresh plugs on all fairways/first cut and mown VERY close. Punching of greens varied from hole/hole so some had big holes, some barely noticeable but all sanded heavily. I'm sure after a good rain/watering they will fill in nicely. Scored well so cannot say it had much impact on my game (bogey golf).
