Twosome

The par 72 Champion course at
Seven Springs Golf and Country Club

It was an overcast day with the temperature around 85º--not too hot. Van, my breakfast buddy from McDonald's, joined me today. He hadn't played often, but it turned out to be a close match. I made a par on Hole #2, and Van made a par on Hole #9.

They started us on Hole #10, and we played 10-18 first. Then we finished up with 1 through 9.

For my par, I made a 50 ft putt from off the green. From the tee, I hit the ball toward the left, actually clipping the roof of a house before it rolled into the fairway. Then, I overcompensated and hit it too much to the right! Finally, I made a good shot and hit the ball 50 feet into the hole. I couldn't believe it myself!

Van's par was his final stroke, ending the day on an up note.

score from the white: 114
Van: 116

Only Nine Holes

"This tee shot is intimidating. The green is small, there is a hazard down the entire left side, and a greenside bunker on the right side of the green. The green is elevated, giving the appearance of a small green with no place to land the ball."

Here's a drawing of Hole #14 from Seven Springs Golf and Country Club Championship course where I made one par today.

I met up with three guys who only wanted to play nine holes. I had already waited forty-five minutes to join someone for golf, and rather than wait any longer, I joined them. They were a pleasant bunch, but they were quite slow. I'm a speed demon, so I'm hoping to meet up with others more like me.

The starting temperature was 85º with a slight breeze. It was HOT!

Bad Day!

I played the Challenger course at Seven Springs Golf and Country Club. They paired me up with a fellow who chose not to keep score. He was pretty good. I sure wasn't. I did so badly that I'm glad I didn't keep score! Don't even ask!

Golf in the Woods

Today I played at World Woods Golf Club. "The Pine Barrens Course at World Woods, is ranked #26 by Golf Week 'Americas Best Modern Course'." Click here for more information.

Look at all of that sand! There were rolling hills and many trees. Believe it or not, I did not lose one ball! I started with a Titleist and finished with it!



It was a nice, dry course. There wasn't a wet spot on the greens. Afterward, Paul and I enjoyed lunch at the club.


Here's a picture of Hole #15 where I made par.

Good Course!

Today I played the Challenger course at Seven Springs Golf and Country Club. It's a par 64. It cost $17.20, and I could not believe that there existed such a beautiful course at such a reasonable price! The greens were fast. I'll go back there any time.

I joined three fellows to make a foursome. They made me feel welcome and invited me back again. I hope I do get to meet up with them in the future. Once again, we saw an alligator--4 foot long. I made certain that I stayed a good distance away.

I made 4 pars (Hole #2, #10, #11, and #13).

Rain chased us out on the eighteenth hole and followed me home where it began dumping buckets.
