Played Sandy Burr in Wayland, MA for the first time Saturday. Charity tournament (scramble). Tough course. Long from the tips. Lightning quick greens. 2 under as a group. I think we hit every fairway, but couldn't do anything after that.
As others have remarked, I too don't remember smoke at the surface like this. This is two events this month. I recall many events where the smoke was elevated though.
The smell today is different than I remember though. I seem to remember smelling burnt pine in the past. But today smells like burnt plastic almost.
