A friend and I played the course on July 16. We found the course to be in very good condition. The fairways were neatly mowed. The sand traps showed crisp edging with well raked sand. Numerous areas were marked as grounds under repair. These areas were planted with freshly contoured sod. As for the pace of play, we played the front nine in two hours and ten minutes. We will play the course again.

The bar in the club house is another matter. As I sat at the bar I noticed the stemware hanging above the bar. The glasses were so dirty that you could not see through them. When I brought this to the bartender's attention, he explained to me, while eating popcorn and watching television, that "the glasses are dirty since they get used a lot." When I mentioned that crystal clean stemware makes a good impression on the visiting public, he informed me that the"place uses cheap soap, so it leaves a film." When I ask him as the bartender on duty if he was responsible for washing glasses, he said, "I'm listening to you." He took his popcorn and left the bar not to return. Within a few minutes, his replacement came. I informed him of the dirty stemware. He said, "What's wrong with them?" I got up from my seat and looked behind the bar. It is not surprising what I found. There was a three compartment sink. Sink one is for cleaning the stemware, one is for rinsing, and one is for sterilization. When I found the sinks, the bartender asked me if it 'passed my inspection." I said, "Yes, now start washing dishes." He did. In all fairness to the kids working behind the bar, I blame the managers for not training the bartenders how to do their job and then to offer them support and encouragement which would hopefully instill a measure of pride in their work. The kids will do what they are told, nothing more and nothing less. The managers need to watch a few episodes of "Bar Rescue."
