A grand day out with top notch people. It was my first full round since Thanksgiving so I was Jonesin' bad, and swingin' the sticks with these two fine characters was a great reminder about what makes golf - and GCA folk - so compelling.
Craig, Blue Heron is probably the best draining muni we have. Like I said at the course, clam guns are often the 14th club 'round here.
Garland, the 11th green is only Redan-ish if you play it from the 12th tees.
Dick, no card or pencil use after the first hole.
Of the holes I like are # 1 into the morning sun! Doglegged fairway with shortcut in rough option.
The 7th, with placement decisions and it looks good.
8th is tough but I appreciate the challenge.
I like the 9th green
10th, though a flattish driving area, I like the blind shot if you go left, which is the direct line to the green. Hitting fairway gives full view of green complex. Or, of course there's always the 18th fairway which is a VALID option.
16th has a decision on the tee for two fairways split by a pond.
The only holes WITHOUT water are 5, 6, 7, 10, 13. I agree, that that is way too few. I'm a "hide-the-water" idealist but the course is still fun if you get your golf balls for free.
Again, thanks for the grand day out. And no rain!
And it also keeps the record running of never meeting a GCA agent that I didn't thoroughly enjoy playing golf with.
