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.

At Last--A Foursome!

I met up with three guys who regularly play together; they invited me to join in to make a foursome. I enjoyed their company, and they suggested that we do it again. I had a good morning, so I think I will meet up with them in the future.


We played on Pebble Creek Golf Club. I made one par on Hole #4. The temperature was 85º and quite humid. The price was $25. The course was wet--soaked actually! There was water standing in the middle of the fairway. I spotted two alligators up close!

Golfing on A Swamp

I went to Lansbrook Golf Club at 6:30 AM and met up with two guys who usually play in a twosome. JR and Herman allowed me to join them for a round. The cost was $19, and it was terrible. The course was a swamp! Everything was wet; I'm sure it's better when it's dry, but today was miserable. I'll try it again after these heavy rains stop.

I saw 5 deer, 1 alligator eating a fish, and 2,000 mosquitos trying to eat their lunches!

It was hot, with the temperature around 85º and no wind to speak of.

I made a 70 foot putt to make a par on Hole #10.

score: 96
JR and Herman kept their own scores.

Thumbs Down on This One

Today my son and I tried yet another course. Eagles Golf Club was terrible. We've recently had super heavy rains, and there was water all over the fairways. Traps were filled with water, and the greens were very slow. We were so turned off that we actually stopped playing after Hole #14. They charged $25 for this soggy adventure. I won't go back here. They should never have opened the course nor taken our money.

Temperature at tee time was 86º with no wind.

score after 14: 80
Allen: 81

New Town, New Course

I went to a new golf course with my son today. Plantation Palms Golf Club; it was beautiful. The cost was $35. Here's a shot of Hole #5. I made a par on this one.


Temperatures are so high that the course is empty. The fellow at the clubhouse counter said that not many play during these summer days. I'm a true blue golfer, so I play regardless. It was 85º at tee time with no wind--not even a small breeze.

score: 97
Allen: 107

Snowbirds and Birdies

Did you watch Tiger's comeback? I did. He birdied the 18th hole to win the tournament. He's one solid player.


Today, the price dropped from $37 to $25. I love it when the snowbirds fly home!






However, I do like birdies, and I made one today on the ninth hole!

At tee time, the temperature was 75º with a 15 mph wind. It was a beautiful day for golfing.
