Pulled a doubleheader yesterday. First round was a little less than 4 hours and the second round was a little over 4 hours. It was kind of an odd day. It was warmer at 8 am than it was at 2 pm. A cold front started moving in on our second 18 and got pretty windy and cold. Funny thing is we played the same tees and the wind made our second 18 play like a completely different course.

Greens were pretty good. I don't remember seeing many unrepaired ball marks but maybe a couple. Wind start impacting putts too on greens. On 17 and 18 I had putts that thank goodness I finally accounted for the wind. I thought the greens were receptive to shots and held them well. There are a few patchy areas on the edges of the greens but it didn't impact any of my putts.

Tees boxes were very nice. Nicely mowed and a few divots but nothing major. Every tee box looked pretty consistent too.

Bunkers were good. All that I noticed seemed to have been raked. Ample sand in the bunkers that you can give it a good thump.

Fairways were so so. There are a lot of bare areas out there but there are also a lot of very good areas too. The bare areas didn't bother me at all. Good roll in the fairways.

Staff was outstanding as always. That is everyone from the proshop to the kitchen to the maintenance workers.

A couple of side notes:
-I usually go thru Julian to get there but the snow forced me another route which there was some snow but the roads were fine. It started snowing again on the way back so the drive was quite scenic.
-Those that know me know that I may have over indulged in sweets, I mean you don't look like me without doing so. That cookie that I got at the end of the round might have been the best cookie I've ever had.
