I heard the summer heat and drought was rough on the greens. Have they recovered?

I'm heading down in two weeks. Can't wait!

I'm heading out on 10/25. I'm pumped to leave cold and dreary NJ behind. Unfortunately, this trip could be my last 4 decent rounds of golf for many months.

Oh BTW, I'm playing Masters as well or at least a hole or two. World Tour is on the docket.

Thanks Rafi! I'd invite you but this is the trip with the wives. I'd hate to see my wife knock it past you.

It's embarassing when she does it to me. We're playing entirely on Pawley's Island this year (except for our annual grudge match at Tupelo Bay under the lights). Besides, you've got all those winnings to spend anyway.

Have fun - in November we play Wicked Stick, Tidewater, TPC, and World Tour.

At the Masters, make sure you get the free balls

Ok here is the report.On Sunday when we landed we played The Love course at barefoot and it was in great shape.Monday we played Carolina national and 2 of the 3 nines were great the 3rd had just been overseeded so it was cart paths only but greens were fantastic.Mon afternoon we played Oyster Bay and it too was in great shape.Tuesday morn was Caledonia which is allways in great shape and Tues afternoon it was Crow Creek which has all its greens back to mint condition.Wednesday morn was The Dye course which was the first time I played it but definitly not the last it was a truly great course.Wed afternoon it was Pearl East which was in OK shape.Thuesday Morn we played the Dunes which is one of the best courses in the country as far as I'm concerned and it too was in great shape and Thursday afternoon we played lets do laundry and relax a bit.Friday morn we played Longbay and the greens gave me fits with all the undulations and for Bermuda they were QUICK.Firday afternoon we played Shaftsbury Glenn which was in good shape.On Saturday morn we played one of our favorits Tidewater and as allways it was magnificent.In the afternoon we played Black Bear which for the last round of the week was ok but I would not reccomend it for a Primary round.So thats it me and the Mrs. played fairly well my low score was 81 at the dunes and the Mrs best was 92 at The Dye course.All in all myrtle was averaging 83 degrees but now has same cold front as rest of east coast so check the computer before packing as it can be 40 in the early morning but once sun is up it warms real fast.

ok, I knew I didn't like you before but now I just straight out hate your guts. call me jealous, whatever.

I'm sick of reading your reports from Myrtle while I'm sitting in my office and outside it's barely over 40deg. but seriously - great trip. You selected your courses visely what a great package

Just got back last night -- quick report

Played Wicked Stick on Thursday (warm up round). The course was decent and overall the greens were good. Nothing too fancy. We got in about nine due to the late time we got in. Friday we played Tidewater. Great course, in very good shape. Enjoyed the round immensely. Worth the money. Ditto for Saturday when we played World Tour - again, course was in good shape and the round was a lot of fun. Sunday we played TPC of Myrtle. Nice challenging course with the ABSOLUTELY worst greens I have ever played. I guess they were diseased or something - bare patches everywhere! Our tee time was 7:32 AM, and we must have seen a total of 7-8 groups all day. The place was deserted!? Leaves everywhere with no signs of ground crew until noon! Now granted they got rain Saturday night, but still you would think the guys would be out getting the crap blown out of the way....I had a mind to ask for a refund. You would think a 'TPC' course would be in better shape.

Only regret - no gentleman's club on this trip There's always next year.

Its in the heart of transition (rye planting), fairways are soggy and the rye grass is thin and long. They need to keep them wet for the seed to deepen and take. Most courses are cartpart only and extremely crowded despite the sogginess as the days while short are fairly nice.

Thanks for the feedback from the locals. We were very surprised to find a TPC facility in that poor of a condition. For what they charge, they should have offered some discount/credit or something. My fault for not asking....

not that I think that i am the end all but I allways thought that as far as the upscale courses in Myrtle go that the TPC and World Tour were overpriced.I agree that Tidewater is a gem and you should really play the Dunes it is a world class course.Your trip was well thought out and sorry for the TPC but next time hit TRU BLUE Caledonia 36 and smile!!!!

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
    • Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top. 
    • I wrote the post before leaders tee'd off today (3rd round) when Schef was still tied with Fitz at -10. Also, if you read further I also said 'one man' will most probably put the championship to sleep by end of today..😊. Yeah, not much drama left it seems. Scheffler with a hot putter is out right frustrating for the field. I will still watch tomorrow because the course is awesome and the play is pretty exciting in general. Players reaching deep to hang on.
