Actually, I like Pelican. However, it does have a couple holes that are scary, with that wild grass, weeds, & whatever else is in there just reaching up to grab the ball. #1, for instance, would be a pretty simple hole if it were rolling grass twixt tee and green. I'd probably hit the green 80+% of the time. However, when you stand on the tee and face that tall (EXPLETIVE DELETED), it's a tad intimidating. #6 is an easy par 4, except I can't seem to hit a driver or 3 wood over a stretch of wild stuff that I could easily clear with a 6 iron. Who said the damned game made sense, anyway? I score better on Roosevelt than on Sandhill -- that disgustingly short downhill (#6, maybe) just eats me alive, and it seems soooo easy.

But back to the subject ---- any resident can get on the Execs at least once or twice a week, if they're flexible.
