Learned of a great benefit this morning at 6:45 AM. My wife came in to the bedroom and said "They start pretty early." I asked what she meant and she told me they where mowing the tee. I didn't believe her and she raised the blinds (I can see the tee from the bed ).

A guy was riding a sizeable mower and I couldn't hear a thing. VERY pleased about that. My beauty sleep is very important (and mostly ineffective ).

I have been pleasantly surprised about the golf traffic as well. Except for weekend mornings from 8-11 and Wednesday from 3-7 (men's day), the place is pretty much deserted. Kind of like having a big honkin' park in the back yard.
