almerimartoday

It is likely that we will play our pretty regular friendly Sunday afternoon game of golf with Alan & Sharon this afternoon.

One thing I am not looking forward to is putting on the greens here at Almerimar. When we played on Friday most of the greens had been top-dressed to try to save them from burning away.The ball rolled quite well on the top dressed greens but bounced quite a bit if you hit a lump of the top dressing.

The bigger issue is that I have a feeling that a number of the greens may be past saving and we will be putting on a number of bare, brown greens again this summer.

At present I think it is unlikely that the quality of the greens will improve in time for the Optica Cervantes competition this coming Saturday. However the staff are at least trying to do something to improve the greens so maybe they will be a bit better in time for the José López memorial competition on 22 August 2010.
