Really Slow Play
A tournament backed everything up. There was a 2 hole gap that we closed up after 3 holes and then from then on it was a 5-10 minute wait at every hole. Super slow.

Perfect Weather
Nice round. Course is in nice shape for this time of year. Able to get off early completing the round in just over 3 hours. No one in front of us until 18, and no one behind us. Felt like a private course.
