Default HI

As people have pointed out,they do not like me critizing there golf courses.When i arrived i played the courses close to my rental property.I did not know about the rating of 1,2,3,4. until i played with the couple at hilltop.I also hadn`t swung a club in 5 months because of our weather back home(courses are closed)so i would not have picked amberwood or belmont to start off.I have booked them for later in the week,I will not be playing off the very back tees,i am a medium length hitter who enjoys golf even after 5 knee surgeries and rotater cuff surgery.Hope everyone out there hits it straight and putts well.

Default Don't forget Truman

I believe this is one of the most aggravating courses here..I like Pelican and Amberwood much more for forgiveness..Truman is truly "target practice"

Today i played Tiera Del Sol country club.I played with 2 friendly gentlemen our fourth was a no show.The course was in good shape,it had some interesting and challenging holes on the nine i played,then the rain came and our round was washed out.I had 2 birdies,2 bogies and a double to be 2 over.The three of us stopped in the club house had a good lunch and some jugs of beer for a very reasonable amount.(clam chowder was delicious)

Bloisy....I think you aren't getting very far SOUTH.....We'd like to hear what you think about Bonifay...or Bacall or Turtle Mound or Redfish Run...or Kilamanjaro....

Go South young man.

12.35 i played Amberwood.I was very apprehensive to play this course after some of the feedback from my earlier posts.But after getting here and looking at the yardages i did decide to play it off the back tees.I played with 2 friendly ladies and a gentleman(2 were in their 80`s)The course was challenging but very playable for me, a medium length hitter.I had the hooks ,i hit it in 5 bunkers,had 2 3 putts.1 birdie(drove the 228par 4 and2putted)one double bogie and shot 3over.(we played in windy conditions)
