I didn't post last night because it would have come across as a lot of whining.
We hadn't played Willowbrook Golf Course for a few years because it was in such a state of disrepair. But we had a voucher for a car wash near the course so decided to give it another try. Big mistake!
The only grass that gets cut is on the greens and tees (but not all tees). And there are large areas without grass.
Add in 33C temperatures and high humidity and it was a tough day.
Even Chip had problems with the grass.
By the way, that Great Egret in the background is eating a fish it caught.
Normally, we would see lots of alligators at Willowbrook, but a housing development being created over what was a swamp next to the course seems to have eliminated them.
Altogether we were totally spent by the time the game was over.
Willowbrook is a municipal golf course which probably explains the lack of money spent to keep it in good shape. But conversely, the golf club employees are all friendly and wanting to help - a totally diffeent experience from the more arrogant, uncaring folks who work at Hamilton's municipal courses.
Turns out that the car wash was the highlight of the day!
