Originally Posted By vbdad55 I'll 6 putt happily if someone puts $590k in my hand... as for the courses opening, no one set time -- most private courses set their own schedule on when the groundskeepers feel they will not suffer any damage - the public courses - mostly mid April - weather willing

To answer your qeustion about what I shot that day, I played poorly on the front, and decent on the back, and walked away with a 91. Not bad, really, considering it's a course I had never played...at sea level...that's a 2 club difference to you and me!
Originally Posted By cape cod joe Excellent score Gaston!--I can't believe the fluctuation in temp there!

VB55--Our celebrity (hint his birthday is in the news under celebrity birthdays- he's 58 today) has owned a place on Jupiter Island for many years. He's there 6 months and here at the Ridge 6 months. Tiger, as you probably know just bought that 38 million dollars estate there. How the heck can you afford it? It's supposed to be the most expensive real estate in the country. Just off island in Jupiter is not TOO bad I heard. Laguna sounds nice but how about putting Jupiter in the rotation instead? Gaston --are you in for the rotation mentioned in post 93? We'll have to add Colorado!

Originally Posted By cape cod joe Stop it Gaston as you mention Castle Pines and I start salivating like Pavlov's proverbial dog.
