A little water never hurt

Fairways were in fair shape. Normal for Santa Anita which is expected. Surprisingly the pace of play was good but it was a Monday at noon.

The greens were awful...so hard you could even flop a shot and stick it. Hence the title, a little water never hurt...won’t be playing there again for a while.

Course was in good shape

The course was in good shape. The greens were very hard and your ball would not stay on the green. Always putting from the edge of the green. Pace of play was very good.
