Not sure I can stack up with Chip, but I had a very memorable 2009 in terms of courses played and, more importantly, friendships formed. Check it out and feel free to add your own. My only regret was not giving Jim Urbina a hug...because I definitely wanted to.
The year started with a day trip to Holyoke in late May, where I was greeted by 45-degree temps, 25-mph winds and driving rain. Of course, I didn't even bring a jacket.
Ballyneal, 2nd Hole
Ballyneal, 7th Hole. They should charge admission just to goof around on this hole
Olympia Fields North
Olympia Fields South
Caught in a hail storm w/ Kyle Henderson on the 8th at Ballyneal. Quite a bonding experience.
"The Ed Oden", 9th Hole at Ballyneal (I still don't see the 'R')
Is this one of the natural internal contours that Tom D was talking about? 12th green at BN
The 13th is my favorite place to be at sunset.
The 18th hole at Sand Hills.
The 8th green at Sand Hills
Crystal Downs, 5th Hole
Crystal Downs, 7th Hole
Kingsley Club, 6th Hole. I think this is my favorite hole at Kingsley.
Kingsley Club, 9th Hole. I'm pretty sure this is Wyatt Halliday's favorite hole at Kingsley (maybe anywhere)
Harbour Town. We're not in Holyoke, Toto. Still a lot of fun.
More Harbour Town.
"The Devil's Butt", as my kids would say. The 4th Hole at World Woods Pine Barrens
Happy New Year! Hope to see you on the course in 2010.
