I came to play here by invite from my college & golf buddy Chuck and as you can see from the handicap and slope rating this course isn’t the most difficult around. This was the first time I played the course but I didn’t really need much hole explanation as almost every hole has a wide open fairway with little to no hazards in play. I didn’t get much sleep the night before (I acutally slept in the parking lot of the course) so I was very worried about how my body and mind would react. I topped my first drive and it rolled about 50 yards along the ground. I was pretty sure I was in for a long day. When we got to the first green we were greeted by a sand dune. The greens were airated and sanded but they hadn’t been brushed which made for even worse conidtions than the airated greens I encountered on my last round at Timber Point. [Read more →]

For my first round of the year I chose to play my favorite local course Timber Point. They have 3 nine hole courses (Blue, Red and White). When you play 18 the Red is used for the front nine and the Blue for the back nine. The back nine makes you think you’re playing a different course but I’ll go into that more when I review the course in a later post.

I started the first hole playing by myself and as usual the first drive wasn’t pretty but by the third hole I had warmed up more long clubs. I had also joined a group celebrating their buddies 30th birthday. We were playing as a 5-some but no one seemed to care as long as we let them play through. I was playing my typical game but I felt like I was striking the ball more solidly off the tee and with my long irons but as usual my short game was a disaster. Chipping and pretty much any other shot requiring a wedge was either duffed or skulled making my new friends wonder how I could be so crisp with my other clubs. [Read more →]
