Early Season Hiccups
It’s March so perhaps the course wasn’t quite ready. No tee boxes were marked and no ball washers on the course today. I’m just happy they were open on this warm, awesome Spring day.

Not bad for a round in December in Chicago.
Lots of leaves and goose crap, but hey, it’s 3 days after Christmas and we’re playing golf

Rough
The fairways were ultra dry and the ball rolled forever. Also, the greens were just aerated so they were extremely bumpy. Uncharacteristic for this course.

Meh
Fairways were brown and dry. Drives bounced and rolled forever. Greens were recently aerated and bumpy. Normally like this course but was quite rough this time around.
