Have played Rivers Edge quite a few times but not since they put the new grass on the greens.They call it Paspalum and it is supposed to be sodium tollerant which is good for low water table and brackish water leakage.I will report.

Stayed at Barefoot last time we were there and the whole resort was phenomenal. The Norman course was being aerated when were there but the other 3 were great. The Dye course was my favorite I'd have to say. Guy had such a hard-on for waste bunkering it's ridiculous. Should be a great trip.

One thing I have found over the years in Myrtle is that it don't rain for long.Storms do blow in but they blow out just as fast.

Well let me restate my last post.You do get wet in Myrtle and we got good and wet.Only played 36 3 days out of the week due to rain but played all the morning rounds relativly dry.New greens at Rivers Edge were nice and Tru Blue was in great shape as was caledonia.barefoot fazio and Dye were kind of beat up green wise.Tigers eye was also a little beat up.I would have figured this was the time of the year the courses should have been in good shape but several were not.But it was still myrtle and we had a good if not wet time.

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.   
    • Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.

    • Day 22: played 18. Shot okay - 80 - but long game was bad. Saved by some good putting and short game. 
    • Well that's about the dumbest thing I've read today.
