Scott R Chilcutt, DFW Tour (February 1, 2011) Many of you may have noticed the absence of an April 9th tournament date that was previously displayed with a TBA. Aerifcation and greens maintenance! While we had 3 or 4 courses that we wanted to try and fill the spot with they all have greens maintenance going on within weeks and frankly we just don't want to risk putting our players out on sand and bumps. That's one of the first questions we ask when we speak to a course about a date and although some maintenance will come up later in the year we want to make sure that we work around those scheduled dates. So to make a long story short, we will probably not be replacing that date.

Entries for the Grand Prairie Classic on February 19th keep coming in at a steady pace. We had a site visit last weekend and the course is in great shape for this time of the year. Greens were good, a little bumpy from the play before us that morning so will try to get those smoothed out after the blizzards this week!
