This has the hint of "sour grapes".

Sweetie plays Bonifay next Monday. There was some kind of a chance to put your name in to play an inaugural round and one of his regular playing partners put their names in and they won!!

He is so excited and I am so happy for him.:wave:

It's nice hearing that you enjoyed your round but you didn't include much in the way of details. I believe I heard each nine only has one par 3 and one par 5 or something odd like that? Could you compare to say Havana, Cain or Mallory?

I go by there just about everyday since I live down in the south area and it looks very green and nice, but seems to be lacking trees. Kind of wide open looking, is that an accurate impression or the layout more than makes up for that?

On golfthevillages.com, you can view a copy of the scorecards for each nine. Both of them have two par5's and two par 3's

According to a "Building Bonifay" video, the Pensacola and Destin nines each has three par-3s, three par-4s and three par-5s.

:wave: Chili557,

Welcome to TOTV! I think it's great that employees get a preview, and appreciate the review. I also thank you and other employees for everything you do to make TV a terrific place to live.

:bigbow:

Went back and double checked and the Ft Walton nine is a standard setup with 2 par3's and 2 par 5's. You are correct on the Destin nine having 3 holes of each. There is no scorecard available yet on the website for the Pensacola nine.

Bonifay course record now something to shoot at.
 

I saw in the Thursday paper that Ed Fletcher perhaps the best mens golfer in The Villages shot a 66 from the Blue tees at Bonifay on November 21st. This information is in the Age Breakers area of the sports section and states that Mr. Fletcher is 70 years old. Ed Fletcher has won many championships over the last several years in The Villages.

So it looks like there is already a course record to shoot at.

Ed is my neighbor and is pretty shy about his golfing accomplishments. When I saw him the other day, he said he played Bonafy. How did you do? Oh well matter of factly, six birdies, no bogeys for a 66. I said even for you that's got to be a first. What? I said setting a course record on a course that you never saw and is not even offically open!!!
His reply. "Well it was from the blues, because the rest of the foursome were playing them." Ah schucks. probably shoot a crappy 68 from the tips. LOL

I checked out his "golf" room and saw 8 or 9 plaques for state of Mass. champinonships.

I think he said five regular, four senior, and 2 partner.
His favorite: Winning the Regular Mass title at 55. Oldest ever to do it.

BTW the last time I looked he was leading the North Central Florida Senior Am. Tour
