I'm not planning on anymore good after Saturday morning.
Sunday, Hope to work on the car and Monday I have to work (that sucks).
Not sure when I'll get in my next round either. May be playing during the week for a few weeks.

Assuming weather cooperates, is anyone looking to play Sunday or Monday?

Not gonna do the Cowboys deal but open to most other places. Would prefer early AM.

I would be interested in playing either day

Got to play Fossil Creek yesterday. Still can't break 90 on that course. Although I will blame a lot of my bad shots on the wet grounds. I was driving the ball as good as I ever have but some of my fairway shots came up way short as it would grab mud before the ball

. But at least I got out to play

How crowded is Fossil in the afternoon during the week. I may need to find a place to play later this week and next.
Yes, I hate playing that course, but for the right price, I'm considering it. Willow is in my review mirror from now on. I need to find someplace to work on my game. Champion circle may become my new local track, but I'm not to fond of it either.

I have not made it over in the afternoon yet but I would not think it would be to crowded. No more Willow for me and not very fond of Champions either although I would play it 10 times before Willow.

Meadowbrook and Pecan Valley are doing okay I believe. Eddie and I are playing the MGA Meadowbrook event on Saturday.

Dave Alvarado · May 28, 2015

I was hoping Meadowbrook would be ok. That's the one I can hit after work if it's ever not storming in the evening.

I'm not even going to Lake Arlington anytime soon. Their drainage is horrible with normal storms.

Not surprised with this at all.

afwcardinal · May 29, 2015

Not surprised by this and actually expected to hear the same for Pecan Valley. Not to excited about playing below a dam in this area at this time.

If the MGA Meadowbrook event gets canceled tomorrow then Eddie and I are playing early Sunday at meadowbrook.

7:22 tee time if anyone wants to join us. If we are able to play tomorrow then tee time will be cancelled most likely.

staticline · May 29, 2015

Meadowbrook got a mention in this month's Golf Magazine in the 'Travelling Joe' section. He talks about golf & food for Colonial week. Waterchase was also listed as a place to play. Pretty cool!
