Thanks Cory!
Thaw Out 3 Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon. Whoever came up with that, I hope you'll attend next year. Brilliant!
The weather, the beer, golf, food, friends, all top notch. Dinner at the Boathouse Friday night had to be as good a time as any I've had down there. You all made it mucho bueno.
When we tee'd off on Friday it was sunny and 65 degrees. Saturday, sunny and 70. And finally on Sunday it hit 80 degrees. Sunny - of course. THIS IS EARLY FEBRUARY!!! It's going to be tough living in the cold for the remainder of the winter after playing in that sort of weather. What a great trip. What a fun bunch of guys we had for the Thaw Out. As per usual at a gca outing, everyone became fast friends before it was all said and done.
We met on Friday at Palmetto Hall and played the Robert Cupp course. Here are a few shots from this fun golf course with a most unusual design.
1st green from behind
8th 110 yds Par 3 with a great big slope to play off of
11th 300 yds Par 4. Fairly straightforward from the tee until you find that anything played center fairway has to contend with BIG BERTHA.
Bertha.
You really need to play to the boundaries on either side in order to get a glimpse of the boomerang shaped green.
This is not the preferred angle of attack.
More later.
