Dang: Headline reads 'Shrinkage in Jersey Village'

Actually it is a sub-heading in the Houston Chronicle Golf section:

Northwest-area golfer has to be ready to travel

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/glf/5611726.html

Well for sure you will want to travel and get out of the local neighborhood if you are affected by shrinkage.

Chron always picking on the golfer.

July 2006 - Best Greens in Houston Award

Great timing paid off for the groundskeeper at MeadowBrook Farms last month.

The greens at Meadowbrook Farms (Katy Texas) are fabulous.

Early in the month they punched and sanded the putting greens. They were barely complete with the verti-cutting when the rain rolled in. And rain it did.

The wet weather for the next three weeks combined with Houston's hot weather made for excellent grass groing conditions.

That made for excellent putting greens; the best putting greens in Houston in July.

• 9 stars for being receptive
• 10 stars for speed (fast) and rolling true.

Keep up the good work, we all benefit from great greens!

If you know of some really good greens in Texas this summer, please leave a comment !

Best Greens in Houston: Award Winner for June

 

They do a lot of the right things at River Ridge golf club (Sealy)

 

And the greens are a the top of the list for a golf course done right.  The greens in June were receptive and rolling fast.

The River Ridge greens are like a comfortable glove.... they just seem right and compliment the golf experience instead of being a golfing hurdle.

 

June's Best Greens in Houston award go to Sealy's River Ridge Golf Club, on the banks of teh Brazos River.

 

Keep up the good work.
