E, Thanks!

Phil: Thanks, and the typically overpriced landscape gang does the cutting. The usual builders' grade crap plantings will get added to/expanded over time. Not a grass fan, other than on the course. As for color, the builder offered the usual 6 choices of 5 shades of beige/tan and this 'terra cotta' pumpkin color, so we picked that...

Ray, Thanks! New track is longer, wider, but has diabolical greens. Both V & my HDCP have bumped up, the wrong way. V is still the player in the house.

We are spending the kids' inheritance.
BR, D
