Haven't played in 45 days. Nine holes early Saturday round $19 to walk 1:25 pop.
Review mostly to up the ratings. In great summer conditions. Grass growing n areas usually only seen in the soggy rain seasons. Meaning better use of water resources. Better placement of tee markers for level spot with turf helps too. It's all about the greens here. Rolling smooth and not quite as tight with summer heat.
Got the honor of raising the flag. Days are getting shorter. Good to be back in NorCal

Our NCGA jewel in Monterey comes through as usual. Time after time year after year a great value and track for members. Played Monday 6/15 mid-day high clouds with the sun almost visible as the marine layer lingered all day. A nice relief for me as Sac had the first 100 degree day of the season recently. I just avoided that score, due to multiple breaks from the trees back into play. Great day overall.
Greens rolling true and speedy. Misjudged a few more than usual for speed and made some saves. Large surfaces smooth with some blotchy color. Paying attention to pin position (#3 today) advantageous to scoring. Subtle breaks, some say they favor towards the ocean when in doubt.
Fairways are / were the highlight. Like carpet and so nice to play from. Feel like what you see on TV. Tee boxes are tight and level well kept. Glad my driver cooperated.
Good sand in the bunkers. I escaped better than usual. Thin to win put it on in one.
Happy to play a casual round with my golf buddies. Dog was happy with a visit to nearby Carmel Beach after and I found a couple eggs (1 Pro V) on the beach.
