So Windy = Slow Play

It was extremely windy that I believe it slowed the pace of play to a crawl. Just one of those days. Looking forward to the 80-90 light breeze days.

Sunday at San Juan Oaks

Course was in great condition. Greens rolled fast and true. Bunkers were in good shape (with actual sand in them and not hard pan). Some of the tee boxes could have been more level.
