I remember my drives being at least 40 yards longer down there too because there is ZERO grass on the fairways. Drives just kept going and going. My dad hit a topped 3 iron from 230 and sunk it for a birdie because the damn ball just kept rolling and rolling.
I never did figure out those greens.

Until it rained the other day, I was getting some monster drives on the burned out fairways as we had been essentially rain free for a few months. The drought apparently pissed off the gators though, there have been 3 people killed by gators in the last week or so all over the state.
The Bermuda greens do get some unusual breaks as the grain does not grow consistantly in one direction so most rules of thumb about breaking towards the water or towards the setting sun do not seem to work. When in doubt, putt it towards the middle of the hole and pray
