You Have Nothing For Which To Apologize, Mike
I've always appreciated your insight and outlook. I like your hole by hole analysis. You're spot on, with these addenda
#1 The day we planted that basket, the guys had me throw at it, from the Blue, of course...I damned near aced it.
#2 It is deuceable. I've done it...once...from the blue, of course.
#3 EXACTLY!
#4 I pruned some branches today, that hopefully will lessen the hate. This hole, like many, maybe even most, because of the lay of the land and the flow of the park does favor RHBH. Sorry. At least the mow line isn't OB.
#5 It's a 2. Sorry. Am thinking that there's a few branches that should be taken out for Gold.
6 & 7 I love those holes, too. God created those.
#8 The hole everybody loves to hate. It really is a nice, pretty, adequate fairway when the hillside is covered only with those tufts/clumps/ blooms of ankle high wild grass. As for getting some guys with some proper tools out there to clear it in a morning's time...how about a birthday present in two weeks, on Sat the 26th or Sun the 27th?
9 & 10 Great holes, especially as back to back, side ending and side beginning. Gotta give Grasse credit for those two.
#11 I've seen some go into that quagmire, but they've always been found...had to come back the next day with the missus to find one of mine. It does play tough as a three, which is better than easy as a four.
#12 I like it, too, as it gave me one of the very few dog leg opportunities. You know, of course, that that light pole just inside the corner of the fence is Mando to the right?
#13 The one hole I now wish we had done a little differently. Should've pruned pine branches like we did on 2, moved the Gold back 50 or 60 feet, so that it would play through a 50 or 60 foot tunnel, which could be enough to reduce the rhetoric of redundancy. Some say that its length and straight line path is boring. I say that it is the epitomic example of the most rudimentary fundamental of golf, ball or disc: How far and straight can you drive it? And I've had similar encounters with soccer folks...except, of course, they don't go "ooo" and "ahhh" with me. But I did finally manage to par it last weekend.
#14 I'm glad it was somebody cool, like Zack, who got the course's first Ace.
#15 I still maintain that there are like three fairways from the Gold. Have thought about some lower branch trimming of the trees out in the grass. Probably won't, unless there's one or some that REALLY hang down in the way. It is the course's only remaining par 4, after all.
#16 Yep.
#17 Yep, if you Ace it.
And #18 Right again, Mike! See my reply to bcbrown.
Thanks for the overall overview, Mike. Maybe you can right it up in a review for the course...but wait til we get the signs attached to the posts in the next week or so and the hillside cleared, hopefully in a couple of weeks.
