Just punched greens
Paid by golf now and was charged a green fee on arrival need to clarify that this morning. Coarse is well maintained and I expect the greens will be really nice in about 3 weeks. The only problem I encountered was I didn’t bring anything to drink and was charged 7 dollars for a small Gatorade and a small bottle of water.
