The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Pretty fair round this am in the wind , shot a 39 with a Bird and several pars , hit a 35 footer for the bird , but next hole i BLEW a 12 footer bird attempt ?and settled for a par .

Today was my last tound this season on THAT course . They're aerating starting Monday , my other course aerated several weks ago and its in great shape . It a longer drive but better than playing on newly aerated greens

You got this game figured out. We are avoiding punched greens to. It's winding down but courses are still looking good.

Played a round at a reciprocal course with greens the assistant pro said were running at 13.5 on the stimp. Shot a 90 and it was tied for 2nd best score out of our two foursomes. Chipping with the super fast greens was harder than the putting for me. Fun playing, though we should have played the old guys tees, kinda like running on groomers when it’s fast conditions.

my course (orchard creek) no longer aerates the greens. a few years ago they purchased this machine that drives spikes about a foot into the green and blows air into them. the spike holes are about the size of a pencil. this process happens periodically through out the season. greens have been in great shape even with the elevated amount of rounds. they used to aerate in late August. greens would take 3 weeks to recover

Interesting Sig , i think perhaps my alternate course may employ similar tactics ,. I was there the day they did this, but did NOT actually see the machine but the holes were miniscule.

The machine broke down that day and it required another day to repair it . I showed up a few days later and the greens were fine , no sand or large holes .
So it could have been a similar device

Played the white tees yesterday at my home course (usually play the blues, there are also black and yellow tees) and made all pars except for 3 holes. (1 birdie, 1 bogey and 1 double). Made all short putts and a couple 10 footers. Lowest round in quite a while. Only 17 shots better than Friday.

Nice round T ski ?.

I sucked today shot a 40 and had to birdie the last hole to get that. Probably will end my season this Wednesday. Been a good year out 52 times no complaints

Ended my season today , given the weirdness of this covid environment happy to have gotten out 53 times . Season average 39.03 . Today's finishing round was nothing special a 40 , but was happy to play on a great fall day . It was sunny with a brisk wind and still some beautiful colors around the course .

We have several days of rain ahead with what looks like 40,s from here on so that's it . There were only about 8 on the course, so i imagine they will be pulling the carts this week .

Enjoy the rest of your season guys !
