I met a guy tailgating Sunday who actually said he loved Royal SA- first one I've ever heard that from. I kinda like it there b/c it's a different game and I don't bring a driver. I've learned to pick and poke my way around it. That being said, I don't go out of my way to play it but I do enjoy it- I like to go to River Bend in GCS one day, find a bunch of balls and then lose them at RSA 2 days later.

 

RSA has a special attraction for me in that I have a condo there (rented, I don't live there) and an unattached garage which I use and the tenants don't know about- it is in a group of 4 garages just off the 12th green and makes a wonderful place to ditch a few beers for the final holes.

 

I played Cimarron this past Monday for the first time in the 15 years I've been coming here and I liked it. Again, it's not on the level of the other courses but I liked how you could blast away yet there was lots of trouble if you threw caution to the wind. I managed to get into 4 sand traps there which is rare for me. I thought the 18th green with its surrounding sand and grass traps and water to be a beautiful finishing hole.
