The sequence

Hatch. Creek. Keep or refuse.

Benno watches a handful of balls into a tray we keep honest with Bear Creek fines, not with a mat that never met Rogue irrigation.

The terrace is hatched first. Then we name the hours you actually play: Bear Creek dawn, Roxy Ann wind, or Jacksonville clay. After that the row is kept, a tick is moved, or a costume letter is refused. We do not shave both sands "a little" so nobody feels corrected.

When the player, not the terrace, is the variable, Willa writes a coaching stake and the hatch stops. Lot desks do not teach entry. Lot desks keep heels from digging.
