And I had to laugh at the driving range, only because its been a hot topic on here recently. Not only was it off mats, but you had to be careful with your driver. A guy stopped and waited as I was teeing one up and then I realized he was just waiting for me to hit so I didn't smoke him in the head on my back swing.

I'm playing my second round out there next Sunday and I'm hoping the greens are ready to go by then. The greens were very good a couple weeks ago.
The driving range was a disaster when I was out there for my first round though. They had half of it closed for lessons, although no one was actually using it but there was a couple staff that wouldn't let anyone on those mats. The other mats were all being used and no one seemed interested in leaving. I waited twenty minutes for a mat and only managed to hit about 15 balls before my tee time. When I left there was about a dozen people waiting to hit some balls
