For anyone who has played with me, you will know when I say that this game was the worst of anything I've done and that's saying a lot! 
Suffice it to say that when I hit the ball or even hit it straight, it normally went into a sand trap. On one hole I even went from sand trap into another sand trap. I told Mike that I've never paid good money to be this miserable..  Oh yea...I think I killed someones lanai on the 18th tee.
More often than not I'd walk off the green with my head down whilest dragging my poor putter behind me.
Lessons....where can I get lessons..... |
Awwww. I still think it was a great idea to play a "Big Boy's" course. I had fun. Never could find my errant ball on the first hole, but after that....it was fun.
On the subject of lessons....Check out the Game Enhancement Clinics at Sarasota (driving range across from Colony) Dave has done two of them and I've done one. We have one scheduled for this coming Monday on "Bunkers". That one might be especially helpful for those who find themselves on the "beach" frequently. Seriously, they have one hour classes for $15 each. Anywhere from 3 - 10 people in the class.
Anyone else who wants to take on a Championship course, let us know. We love the ability to play just nine holes for half price, and of course next week it will be $6 to play as many holes as you can get on if you start between 5 and 6 p.m. Call me cheap, but that's a SUPER deal
