I'll be there, but in the B class now, so I'll just try not to come in last

[mikelaurin]

I will be there in bflight with about 8 members from Upper Canada one of my favorite tournaments almost won it twice

[Ginker]

I am not playing for the first time in a long time. I found the prize table the last few years to be pretty disappointing given the entry fee and no meal. Playing the Men's Open at Cedar Glen istead this year.

[OutOfTheRough]

Darn it all, I'm working. $50 is a pretty good entry fee! Good luck Ruskie !!

What is the price and other info for Cedar Glen? What's the prize table like? Better than Cornwall? Cornwall has been going a little downhill ove the last few years, so I may look elsewhere for my labour day tournament this year.

[XTOUR]

Why are all the tournaments on weekends I can't play

[Ruskie]

Aren't you supposed to make your own schedule?

[kekchose12]

Marc, did you check the tee times? That's too funny! Looking forward to play with you again bud.

[XTOUR]

How did everyone do?

[mikelaurin]

I shot 40 46 with 13 pars a few triples to many 74 won next was 80 great greens prizes sucked again

[Ruskie]

Couldn't hit the ball on the front nine, especially off the tee, so ended up with 46. Woke up somewhat on the back, 41, but it was too late by then. Finishing with a double on the last hole didn't help much either. The only thing that was keeping me alive was my putter. The greens were terrific, as usual, but I thought they were a bit slower than in recent years...

[XTOUR]

74 for B...WOW. Must have had a personal best. Ruskie...not getting off the tee???? That's not like you!!!

[Ruskie]

Well, I've had a lesson a couple of weeks ago, still trying to find equilibrium with the new swing... Good news is I'm making much better contact now. The bad - I have no clue which way it'll go...

[golfisforfun]

Any more results to share? A Class? I am guessing it would be a low number because the course was soft and greens were slower than usual.

[Ruskie]

I don't know about the course being soft... Fairways and rough were much harder than i remembered them from two years ago, some crazy bounces were commonplace. Not too crazy, but enough to make it difficult. Greens were slower, but not very receptive, I've had a well struck high 9 iron shot roll 10 feet uphill. The areas around the greens were fairly inconsistent as well, some shots would bounce, some would stick, so front pins were hard to get to. Overall, I think the course suffered from the hot summer, recent rains nonwithstanding.

[golfisforfun]

Sorry, I should have specified... I played on Monday in the A, and the course was VERY soft due to the rain overnight and through the morning. There were a few fairways that were almost unplayable, my playing partner plugged 2 balls on greens, my high ball flight got me no roll on several drives and there was casual water on fairways.
Greens were barely running at 10.5 which is MUCH slower than the last few years.
The course normally plays hard and fast with bad bounces being very normal and front pins have always been tough to get close to, so I guess it depended which day you played...
