A very good Travis course that has minimal ground movement on all but 5 holes. Nevertheless, there is an excellent set of challenging par four holes. Also there are many magnificent Travis contours on the greens.
Most par threes are not very long but remain extremely sporty !!
Mark nails most of it, and I would add:
- #1 and #18 probably got changed due to the tennis courts, so they are a little squeezed;
- #13 and #17 play pretty long for par 3's, so I challenge Mark on that "short 3" concept!!;
- There are 5 par 3's which I like, but did not realize until Joe's update as the outing format does throw off the course rhythm.
- It was really really hot! A great great walking course, but I am glad for the first time in my life to be in a cart on a very very walkable golf course.
- The bunkers need some GCA love;
- In the Colt/Travis/MacKenzie greens conversation, I have no idea where they stand against each other, but they stand ABOVE all others, I think. Great greens and many/most seemed to be intact.
In the fun category of life, I am normally a pretty good bet to bet AGAINST on a golf course, and that tradition continues. We hit the 5th hole from about 135 yards in a "Beat the Pro" contest - closest to the hole. I put up $50 and stuck one to 2.5 feet as the first player to hit. My three partners were outside me and then "The Pro from Coastal Carolina" put one about three inches from the cup!!
$50 to a great cause, my continued humbling of my golf ability, and thanks to all.
