The first day of the trip has been a long one. Jeff and I left the wilds of Canada very early, leaving the house at 3am. Our destination - River Creek Club in Leesburg, Virginia - http://www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/River-Creek-Club. Everything we looked at had a different arrival time. Google Maps was saying 10.5 hours, MapPoint 8.5 hours, Bing Maps, 9.5 hours and the GPS was saying 8 hours. It took us 9, so it was something in between! [...]
It was an early start to the day. We were up early packing and getting ready for a long drive after the round. I was limping a bit as I had pulled a muscle in my left leg (not sure how that happened, however it had been bugging me for a few days), however it was feeling better by the time we had loaded the truck, had breakfast, checked out and were driving up to [...]
I've never played Arrowhead and I was looking forward to playing the course. There was also talk of playing a nin hole scramble afterwards which is always one of the highlights of my forum outings, and it would give me the chance to play all three nines of the course. It was another beautiful day at the beach. Sunshine and brilliant blue skies for the third day in a row, this was easily the best [...]
With two birdies on the day on my way to an 85, I finally won a skin. In fact, all four of us won a skin. There was a bit of confusion over which tee box should be played, however because we had started form the blues, we stayed back there. Brian struggled a bit on the front nine, however, he figured it out at the ninth hole and finished the last 10 holes even [...]
The first official round of the forum outing was played at Pearl West this year and the day was perfect. Sunshine was the order of the day and the course was in really good shape. A few nasty pin positions (holes 11 and 12 come to mind) and we missed the gators on the front nine, however our foursome, my buddies Jeff and Marc along with Mike G and myself, all had a great afternoon [...]
We left Ottawa around 4am, driving the 81 down to the 66, the 17 to the 95 and then into Myrtle arriving just after 11pm. We stopped for lunch at Wendy's somewhere in southern Pennsylvania and for dinner late in Lumberton, taking advantage of the $9.99 prime rib at the Texas Roadhouse. The truck drove really well, and the only bad weather we hit was some rain around Syracuse. It was great listening to the [...]
