Longer grass around the greens

It dawned on me as I was looking at the Al Kavanaugh-Mike Anderson photo that one big change this year has been the longer grass around the greens. Makes for a lot of whiffy type shots - you know, ones that go about two, three, or four feet. Had one myself yesterday which led to a bogey at eight, and then a bogey-double bogey-bogey finish. The photo was taken shortly after Mike had whiffed his shot just off of #9 green. His disgust and frustration was apparent to those of us going down #1 fairway. Other than Junior's 37, the Senior League's low handicappers again failed to find sub 40 rounds. Frustrating indeed.

Eric did shorten the grass in that no longer out of bounds area adjacent to #7 tee box. Now that is something to be thankful for.
