Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

Dunno what happened. Came to a screeching halt on the back 9. Took 30 minutes longer to play the back. Why?

I wish the course starters would just tell every group to keep up with the group ahead, and if there’s a gap, catch up. People complain about pace of play, well, they also don’t know etiquette. If the course starter would just tell each and every group to put their carts to the back of the green, grab their clubs and then go play, they would get off the greens faster and get out the way, instead of leaving their carts and bags in front of the green making the group behind watch them come all the way back to retrieve their stuff when they get off the green, making the group behind them wait and stand there for an extra minutes or two. It’s deathly frustrating, and slows everybody down.

The courses need to do a lot more to educate the new players about etiquette. It’s wrecking the enjoyment of veteran players. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a muni or not, it’s golf!

So tired of dealing with the same problems over and over. The courses need to step up and rein people in.

Good public course - better than average condition, good greens / great carts

Just under 5 hours starting just about twilight tee times. Dunno what the heck was causing the back up but it was pretty much 3 groups to every hole, sometimes 4 groups! On a Tuesday afternoon. Waited on every shot as you can imagine.

And the course is drying out, dying out. No rain so they don’t water? Don’t we have enough water in Cali now? So why isn’t it green? And it’s reclaimed water so we should have it overflowing.

Greens had been small holed the other day. They hadn’t been cut, they were bumpy and hairy, they were terrible.

What a waste of time. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
