I am just curious how your home course is looking right now. I played my home course yesterday (Gateway national) and things are looking a bit rough in places due to the heat. 18 Fairway was actually closed to carts due to the Bent grass being so fatigued. Several tee boxes were burnt up in places and had weeds popping up in the bare spots.

This really is rare for the course. Unfortunately the combination of hot weather and rain only coming down in gigantic downpours as a reeked havoc on the bentgrass - lots of stress and disease.

Anyone else seeing unusual conditions this summer?
