THE COURSE COULD NOT LOOK BETTER THANKS TO THE HOT TEMPERATURES, HUMIDITY, AND FREQUENT HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS. IN TRUTH, IT IS VERY FRAGILE. DON'T ALWAYS ENTER THE FAIRWAY THROUGH THE ROUGH AT THE FIRST WHITE TIPPED POLE. CORRECTLY, PLEASE INITIALLY ENTER THE FAIRWAYS AT 90 DEGREES ABEAM YOUR GOLF BALL LOCATION AND THEN EXIT AT 90 DEGREES PRIOR TO THE 2ND WHITE TIPPED BLACK POLE THUS MINIMIZING TRACKS, WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FESCUE ROUGHS. PROPERLY FIX BALL MARKS ON GREENS; SEE A PREVIOUS NOTE ON DAVE'S BLOG FOR THE CORRECT WAY TO REPAIR A BALL MARK. TAKE SAND WITH YOU FOR ALL FAIRWAY AND TEE SHOTS AND REPAIR DIVOTS; THE GROWING SEASON IS GOOD AND IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR DIVOTS TO GROW BACK. OH YEAH, LEARN THE PROPER WAY TO HIT AND TAKE DIVOTS ON THE DRIVING RANGE...DIVOTS IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
