I see what you mean. That grass looks like it would be the devil to hit out of. 

The greens were as slick and full as any I have ever seen. It’s called Paspalum grass. I’ve never heard of it before. The fairways and rough were not as manicured as it is a public,affordable course. But you are right. The rough, which appears to be the same type grass( mostly) as the greens don’t need to be very tall and it ties your club up pretty good. It’s not easy to locate a ball in that stuff. 

The gator is considered ground under repair. Free drop.

It's been a while since I visited this thread. Lots of good stuff in here, as usual! 

I just got back home from vacation in Turkey and thought I'd share a couple pics:

 

Welcome back! Hope you had an amazing time. I'm sure you were sad to leave.

I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for not posting food pics. I haven't had good Turkish food in far too long and I don't know if I could look at them without crying.

Tourists in our own town for a day. This was after brunch on the water where we saw a lot of dolphin activity. It was hot but worth it.

I knew a girl from Chicago in Atlanta and she turned us on to Italian beef. I mean, I know the deep dish and hot dogs are great, but people should really talk about Italian beef more.

If you have an empty slot on your dining schedule, Rick Bayless culturally appropriates the HELL out of some Mexican food. Don't remember the names of his restaurants but they're not hard to find. Also, Ken Kee's in Chinatown is killer. They have duck beaks on the menu, but I didn't try them.

I actually enjoy the dipped Italian beef sandwich more than I do the pizza, and I love the pizza.  Had one sandwich at Portillo's yesterday for lunch and another at the game last night.

Thanks for the other dining tips.  Leaving the city this morning and heading to Milwaukee for the day.  Will have to hit those us next time.

I'm beginning to wonder if you just travel to different cities to eat the great food and visit baseball/football parks...............................I don't think you actually work. Not that I'm jealous or anything

Glad I'm not the only one.

But hey, somebody's gotta do it.

LOL!  I promise I do work.  But often after meetings I get some down time.  NYC is a little different because I'm required to be there a week each month.

I'm actually in Louisville in a few weeks and should have time to hit the Slugger museum.  Can't wait for that.

I'm eternally grateful for having gotten to travel for work for a few years, and I do miss it, but I also don't miss it.

Love the pics.  I was hoping to be posting some pics incredibly close to the action from Houston Astros, but my plans had to change last minute. Maybe I can catch a game this year.

Thanks bro! I had a blast! It was a much needed recharge. Man the food is sooo good. There is actually a good Turkish restaurant near where I live but it just doesn't hold a candle to the real stuff

Glad you had such a good trip! Travel can be so invigorating. Exhausting and energizing at the same time. I really, really, really need to travel again soon. 

Really hope to get over there one day. The food is only, like, 49% why. I think.

I joined a snake identification group on FB, and their information appears to be paying off.
