Spent the weekend at the lake with my wife and the water is just spectacular. Not only is it higher than I have ever seen this time of year but the temperature is absolutely perfect. And with no wind and very little boat traffic we were able to stop in the middle of open areas and just float along. Was really wonderful and relaxing since I didn't have fifteen kids wanting non-stop entertainment.

Sadly, I partially screwed things up by playing Stillwaters on Friday and Lakewinds on Saturday. Stillwaters is still in terrible shape and charging too much given the condition of the course. I played there early in the summer and decided to give it another chance thinking a summer of great weather would help......I was wrong. The greens have these little patches of green grass that bounces your ball and several of them had large patches of dead grass. To charge $49 for 18 on Fridays and weekends is almost a crime.

As for Lakewinds, it is a much better deal for the money. I will say that this golf course has the smallest greens on the planet earth and every one of them is domed. The good news is if you can land a ball and get it to stay on one of these greens you can do it anywhere. Despite the tiny greens it is a typical inexpensive muni and worth the price you pay. In pretty good shape and the greens rolled reasonably true. Good place to learn how to play golf. We played with PikeSki and his lovely wife and they came over Saturday night for a steak dinner. Very nice weekend in all!
