We had a heavy rain for 2-hours with plenty of thunder. The storm passed and I was able to finish, cart path only. It is very early in the season, so the course green keepers haven't had a good chance to fix up the sand traps. Greens were good and they drained quickly. I had a good practice round.

The course was just fine considering the weather. The temp was around 45 with a pretty good wind. We enjoyed our round and it met our expections for that challenging weather day. It is still very early in the opeing season so grounds keepers were preparing to work the course. The Pro Shop staff member was very friendly and made us feel welcomed.

My 13-year old grandson and I played the course, his first time and my second time. He will be playing in a tournament the following week at Delaware Golf Course and our time together helped him to understand the nature of the course. I will be his caddie for the tournament and I am sure I can observed my grandson's strategy to play the course well.

The weather was to be more sunny and warm, but we played through wind and a chill. We enjoyed our time together. Too early to use the sand traps, still winter conditions.

My 12-year grandson and I had a wonderful day at Bent Tree. I will note a special recognition of the Starter who protected our time as we made the turn from the back nine to the front nine. Thanks.

The ground crews have done a good job of getting the leaves off the fairways. Also, for this late season, the tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape!
