Played Spanish Bay a couple of times in the last week or so. First joining DeepSea14 and my buddy from the Valley in what turned out to be the only 4 hours of fog in the peninsula in a 2 week stretch. Today was just the opposite, SDF, Bob and I were the first off at 8AM in chilly but bright sunny skies. Both times the course was pretty empty.

Last week the greens were slow. My guess is they hadn’t been mowed in a couple of days due to prior rains. Today they were back to normal medium fast pace. Greens roll smooth and has mentioned before they have severe undulations to them. Fairways are now starting to dry out to offer some roll. Even before, the fairways presented a fine hitting surface, just the ball would often plug upon impact. Not a problem today. Sand traps. Were hit and miss. Some were very thin and others offered plenty of fluffy sand. Rough is a bit penal and patchy in places. Tee boxes were excellent.

Course is very green and lush and always a joy to play. If this weather keeps up, I might just have to sneak back out before the PGA circus comes to town.
