I found myself in a difficult situation yesterday. Early this week, I golf at a course "Desert Rose" where the greens are absolutely terrible. Little sprouts of grass causing a bumpy surface, and other areas that appear to be infected with fungus. What ever is wrong the putting surface is next to impossible to putt on, and expect the ball to hold it's line.

I was at the driving range working on a few things, tuning up my swing so to speak. Some golfing buddies showed up unexpectedly, and ask if I was going out. I told them no, not today. It was an "oh well, too bad, see you next time" type of thing.

I have a short golf road trip coming up next week where I will be playing on some very well cared for greens. The word "immaculate" comes to mind when describing these out of town greens. This close to that trip my thought process was to stay off the poor greens, so as not pick up any bad habits that might/would carry over to those well manicured greens I will be playing on next week. Even the fairways are in much better condition. Next week's 4 rounds is under actual tournament play conditions, and for the $500 entry fee, I want to play well all 4 rounds.

So have you ever not played a round of golf due to course conditions?
