Just found out I'll be in the area on the 5th and 6th of Dec.  I hope to get one last round in...almost quite literally.   ;D

I thought some of you might like to see the photo album I took last fall at Beechtree:

http://darwin.chem.villanova.edu/~bausch/images/Beechtree/index.html

Also, the last two pics in that album are in fact panoramic shots, one from the 18th green and the other from by the 8th green.

Would the hole play better if the left side of the 5th green fell off and was not be raised up?  That would reward playing along the bolder line on the left near the huge bunker at the corner allowing them to hit into the slope of the green and penalize golfers playing up the left side safely away from the corner.

no, it's not the extent, just my favorite memory, nancy's second round of golf ever.  She played a lot better - AND FASTER - that time.

Nancy's first round ever - 192 at Royal New Kent, (not counting the many, many whiffs).  Five hours and forty minutes for a twosome.  We let all six groups through that we saw on the course.  Her terrific sense of direction got us lost in DC (her home town) and we were 2 hours 40 behind schedule.  Jay get world humanitarian peace award for patience.

Beechtree - 170!  Many fewer whiffs.  Four hours forty. Five groups played through.  This time we were only 2 hours behind schedule - she had to photograph the cicadas...

Andy, when I get some time, I'll post some more photos.

Bill, trust me every single group that played through was hitting on her and asking us to play with them.

But no, she's safely headed to Philly for her mom's retirement party.  I wouldn't do that to us, just me.  Rest assured though, when we see someone behind us, I wave tham through.  By the time they get past, Nancy's caught up (six feet...ten feet...eight feet at a time), but hey, she learning, she likes it, and the family that plays together, stays together.

Wanna read about Nancy and Bethpage?  Click here:  she's "Britt" in this story...

http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/the_art_of_the_bethpage_overnight_part_1

...and one more pic of Nancy...



Oh, wait a minute, that's Sam the Eagle and Jim Furyk.  Damn, Furyk's got quite the bushy unibrow.  And when did he get all blue and feathery?  But Sam the Eagle looks good on the left there...

There, this is more like it...

 ;D Jay, I am not sure what it says about either you as a significant other or your sense of humor to have poor Nancy play her first round at RNK!

Updated weather--sunny and 65 degrees tomorrow afternoon.

Pretty Close, Chip.  Mrs. Gaskins looks EVEN MORE like my friend Jeannette (pic tomorrow).

Alex, that was hysterical.

I'll provide more Nancy soon.

Andy, its funny, but when nance told her boss she was playing RNK with me, "his face fell and he asked me, 'are you sure this guy likes you?'"

192...5 hours 40...

we actually went back the next year.  We got rain on the fifth hole,  On the 7th she said, "I feel like I'm wearing a wet diaper", and that was it for the day.

In a minute "ll be free, we'll all be splashing in the sea, you'll hear a tiny cry, as the carts go gliding by...

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

I also said "Glide."

Great time today!  Folks from Nashville, TN all the way to NYC made the trip.  The course was fantastic and company was even better.  Thanks everyone for making the effort!.

Everything was superb except the commute!  A tractor trailer jack-knifed on I-95 spilling noxious something or other and b;locking up BOTH ways!  What a nightmare getting there.

What a great round when we did.  Doak is right, she is better than you remember...and the company was stalwart too.

Scott Weersing rightly checked with Beechtree on October 12 & 13 and found out that there is a tournament then and the course is closed.

So, we have postponed our trip and will be there on the afternoon of the 19th and the 20th.  We are both open to any of you that want to join us ....

I would like to compare notes with some of you about the course, and will make an extensive comparison with Riverfront (10 minutes from my home) on this site.
