Played the blues at Lakewood today for my GK Cup match with tocho261. Conditions were very similar to last time I was out here a few weeks ago, with some minor changes. The greens were very fast and in pretty good condition throughout just days before aeration. No real complaints there - occasional ball mark? Sure, but nothing too bad. Again, pretty darn fast but rolled very true. Fairways were patchy still ... some thin lies can certainly be found throughout. Not sure if and when this will get better as it's always been the case at Lakewood each time I've played it. Sand was okay - depended on the bunker, actually. Some thin, some average, none outstanding, but all playable. Tee boxes I though were quite good, actually. And the rough was a hodge-podge but none too difficult to navigate out of ... like last time - sometimes the rough was more advantageous than the thin sections of fairway. POP I thought wasn't too bad, but in the end it was well over 5 hours. We had a pretty fun group that all played pretty fast, and we never waited it seemed too often on many of the holes, so the time didn't seem to go that slowly. And man was it a gorgeous day! Excited to see how Lakewood comes out of the upcoming aeration.
