  • Carolina National to install new...

    It’s a hard decision for course owners, club managers and golf course superintendents.
    Installing new greens is a process that doesn’t happen overnight. The whole course (or at least nine holes) must be closed for several weeks or months. There is disruption of play and lost revenues. Dues-paying members must live with fewer tee times during the renovation process. Instead of teeing off in the morning, they sometimes must play in the afternoon.

Trout seem to be spread all over the place, making them hard to target. I can only speculate that the back-and-forth weather patterns have continued to play a role in making our resident fish sluggish and slowing down the flow of migrating fishing into our waters.
