Sounds like MOW overseeded wall to wall again, which includes the rough. 
If correct and you like that, play Wizard also.  
 
Thanks!

It is nice to read trip reports in the middle of winter!  Right now I have 13" of snow covering my yard.  Thanks for taking the time to make us feel a little better.

Thanks for reading.

Just too cold for to play golf this week. I admire all those playing under these conditions. Hoping that the weather will be more on your side next week. 

Thanks for your two reports, it is a very good start.

Mike, looking forward to all the reports. When you say the greens are Fast, what does that mean to you? I find most greens in Myrtle to be slower than my home course. Average speed at my home course it 11 to 12. They will get them to 13 (that's FAST). They were 9 on Monday because they had not been rolled in a few days, that was SLOW!

@kio57 One mans fast is another mans slow. For the first 7 holes I was consistantly 6 to 8 feet past the pin. Maybe the seemed fast because I have not played outside since the end of November. Adjusted though and ended up with 33 putts, which was my average last year.

@s333h However, since you have prepaid for your round and they give you rain checks when you can't play, weather standards are lowered.

Enjoying your reports very much. I also played as a single in MB one year and I too found that after a couple of holes everyone relaxed and ended up enjoying each others company. I haven't played Litchfield and not a course that is talked about much so it was good to have your opinion on it. Thanks for posting the reports.
