Played 9 holes (Course 3) starting to gear up for the Las Posas GK/GM/VIVID event. Will have to do better going forward as I hit maybe 2 or 3 solid shots all day. Only some good breaks and making a few putts I normally do not make kept the final total from being ugly.

Conditions remain good. With the recent occasional rain and cooler temperatures, the fairways and rough have greened up and filled in quite a bit, so large bare areas are rare. Greens have pretty good coverage, although most are pretty firm and low-trajectory shots (like mine) have long releases, Ball marks on these greens are generally small – that does not excuse all the unrepaired marks on every green(!). I was not in any sand traps. Tees are generally level and well-grassed; tees on the par-3 holes are more challenged, although players appear to be making use of the sand bottles on the tees.

POP was right around 2 hours. The first tee was busy and I feared a slow round, but we moved fairly steadily, with only short waits on most shots.
