I started out on Thursday and played Philmont CC (North); I thought it was a solid golf course that needed some work done. The greens were fast and a couple of the holes were pretty wild, the 9th hole is a boomerang par 5.
Friday I played Saucon Valley (Weyhill) and loved it; I thought it was a beautifull Golf club and extremely well routed; I had a problem with a couple of the par 5's but overall the golf course was immaculate. The golf club is probably the nicest I have ever been too; it was the kind of place where I felt like I didn't belong.
Friday afternoon I played Lehigh; at this point my game UNRAVELED and I broke down in tears on the 7th tee; I was able to talk to my Mama and she talked me down so I could gather myself; JK, although that is what I wanted to do. I loved this golf course I was able to play with someone who has forgotten more about the game then I currently know and that in and of itself was a great expierence. I loved the green complexes and without playing with the member I doubt if I would have ever even noticed how special they are. Lehigh is the kind of course that I would like to play daily.
Saturday I played White Manor (Bobby Weed) and loved it as well; it was a beautiful day on a beautiful golf course. This to me felt the most modern, probably because after the redesign it is the most modern, but I loved it. The greens were wild and fun, this is a place that if you were a member you would eventually have to become a pretty solid putter, they can be wild. I played probably the worst round of golf I have played since high school but I still loved the course which says alot, typically if my game is as bad as it was I have difficulty enjoying anything.
Philly golf is special; every course was awesome and the weather was fun, just so different then what I am used to being from ATL. I loved how each course was easily walkable and caddies were everywhere. Overall it was a great trip and I would love to go back.
