Played Anderson Links. Disappointed to see so many ball marks on the green not being fixed. Anyone playing there...Fix those ball marks on the greens please.

Pretty common on public courses. Green-fee players just don't care like members do.

played Hawkesbury on the weekend, course is in mint condition except for right rough on #13 which is soggy and should be roped off. Evidence of carts getting stuck and damaging the turf. Greens are in fantastic shape.

Played Talon Sunday and the greens had tons of ball marks which was disappointing considering it's Clublink.
Played Stonebridge yesterday and the greens were a million times better in terms of ballmarks. The whole course is probably the best I have ever seen it in terms of conditions.I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

Played Montebello today, the course was in great shape, and was able to play a round in under 3hrs.

It's actually a combination of hours of sunlight (consistent) and temperature (variable) The hours of light determine when it gets going, and the temp determines how bright the colors are.
Oct 1 - 15 is the peak, so yes 2 weeks will be spot on. It will be interesting to see how bright they are. This week's overall warmth could make them dullish, but it is still summer (until tomorrow) lol. I wonder if we get a quick turn to cold nights and warm but not hot days. That's the ideal conditions for strong colors and it could still happen and we can still have a vivid show.Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

Hey Dan, like what was previously stated, they are just starting to turn colours, I was in Tremblant last week and the colours were even better. Like you guys said, in a few weeks and they will be awesome...

Played a round at Rockland over the weekend, course was in great condition, with a few wet/soggy spots here and there.

Played Eagle Creek yesterday, there were some oversaturated spots in the fairways and lumpy areas as well where the grass appeared to be like a carpet pushed up in the middle, when you walked on it the fairway pressed down... odd given how dry it's been of late.

Can't wait til spring at Greensmere!
Spring fairways should be awesome next spring.
Played Premiere yesterday and it just struck me how lush and perfect the fairways were. Didn't see a divot anywhere - a perfect green carpet! (Maybe due to the bad golf/good growing weather)
And I left it that way-especially on #16 -, rough, rough, rough (behind green), greenLast edited by stevek; 11-16-2017 at 08:32 AM.

We played on Monday and yes GM looked great but most of the greens were still frozen so landing and putting were a challenge, like putting on a ceramic floor. Still lots of fun
