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!

Computers on the Golf Course


The new course I tried out today was Pebble Creek. The temperature was 85º and it was humid! There were quite a few water hazards. I lost seven balls!

It had an electronic gadget that was attached to the roof of the cart that told how far people were in front of us, how long each hole was, and how far we were from the hole.


The shot above is Hole #16 where I made a 50' putt for par.



I made another par, but I forgot which hole. Allen made 4 pars. I'll return to this course.

score from the yellow: 78 after 14 Holes (We had to quit; Allen had a meeting.)
Allen from the yellow: 74 after 14 Holes
Larry from the yellow: about the same, but he finished the course

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
