It has evolved into a waterfowl oasis in a section of the Atlantic Flyway dominated by intensive farming and development.

Attitude Quotes
We felt like we had to buy some time. I sure am glad I'm not playing this week. The course is ready, it's in good shape. It's just the whole mental attitude of people. We are just so inundated.

And buying the extra 30 days is going to make all the difference in the world.
