Ah Jeff, you are right, it is the firm part that wrecks havoc. And it is the firm part that separates good golfers from mediocre golfers like me. It is easier to control your ball when conditions are soft because the ball stays close to where it…

Fast and firm. If you can take a divot too plush. A little scar and puff of grass with a well struck mashie is about right. Roll out on a well struck brassie tee shot at around 30 to 40 yards. Once in a blue moon in America. You must play over…

Bob- Oy, are those 'Royals' crazy or what! I can understand transfering' to a dry section of the course but not all over the place during a cloud burst. Figured that by 'poorly watered'…

Andy, Now's the time to sign up for the event at Mid Pines. Feb. 24 (Friday) gives you time to tune up the ol' clubs for a new season with the wooden sticks. With tee times starting at 11a.m., that gives you plenty…

Jeff, I only meant comparatively poor or less watering. At Royal Dornoch a couple of years ago in a rain storm I noticed the sprinklers all on. I asked the greenskeeper what this was about. He said that the course usually is not watered but when it…
Jeff Stern left a comment for gary thill
Gary, I signed up to play in the CHGA event for Fri. Feb 24. The ride to Southern Pines isn't too punishing; the price is right, the course is hickory prime and by the number of players already signed up it could be a full-field tourney!…

Mr. Henderson, I have many time read your preference for fast and firm conditions. I don't mind fast; it's the firm part that plays havoc with my game. A bit of rough is good for the soul- stops an errant shot from…

I look forward to the gathering. My dog, Baron, however will not be there. His handicap is worse than mine!

I'm planning to go, but am staying in my motorhome with my own Glock!
Mike Policano replied to Mike Policano's discussion 'Chechesee Creek Tournament'
I signed up to attend. It is a wonderful Coore & Crenshaw course. I played there last May and I think it will be a very good hickory venue. There is only one hole that has a carry off the tee and they might adjust that hole when they set it…
