I can hit a ball 250 yards before it touches the ground and starts rolling, but I just can't seem to hit the nail on the head when dealing with some people no matter how hard I try. Maybe drives and people are the same...the harder you try, the worse the shot ends up. (Tee boxes and fairways are great here. Tee boxes were aerated recently, but plugs were all gone. Center cut of fairways is narrow in places, but that makes it fun!)
Playing from the tips, I can score in the 80's here, but scoring a long term friendship with people I care about seems to evade me. (Low scores at this course are generated by playing smart. With lots of creeks and water your shot selection needs to include several layups and specific yardages to put you in a good position to hit the green.)
I can usually read a green better than I can read a person. However, the greens here are tough. You first think it will go left, but then you walk it and maybe it will go right, so you don't give up the cup and run it 4 feet past the hole to the right. (Sometimes you just have to go for it, even if failure is imminent.)
A lot of people don't understand golf.
A lot of people don't like golf, or those that play.
That's ok...I don't understand a lot of people.
Love the bridges, scenic views, and an obviously well cared for track. read more
