I was told we had just enough rain during the round to remind everyone what that phenomenon felt like. It sounded like the greens had sufficient grass….almost too much that kept them slower than usual.

It looks like the warmer temp is finally hear to stay, and, despite a stronger breeze than we’d like to see, it was another great day for CTGA golf. It was back to Austin area muny greens…and the reality that we’ll probably not see greens like Lakecliff again until next year.

The results of our Lakecliff Medal Play competition.
