Local Scoop - Sea Trail Jones (04/22/2020)

Teamed up with UGP today and played the Jones course at Sea Trail against two low single-digit golfers, one of which is a bomber. Overall the course met expectations and was in good shape. Not as good as Kings Borth but better than many of the lower end tracks. Greens had good turf coverage and putted true. The practice green was slow because they hadn't cut it but the greens on the course had medium speed which took a bit of adjustment. Fairways were also in good shape with healthy overseed coverage. Best part of the course was probably their bunkers which were freshly groomed just prior to our morning round. The only part of the course which needs work is probably the rough areas off the fairway which had a lot of weeds, bare spots and soft areas where the ball can plug. Sea Trail Jones is a fun course to play and has some interesting and challenging holes. I'd return again. As for the match, it went back and forth with our opponents grabbing the early lead but then we caught fire highlighted by UGPs chip in for birdie on #17 (our 8th hole of the day as we started on the back nine). Then our opponents took the lead again mid-way through the second nine and kept the lead with two holes to go. However on #8 I stuffed a wedge to 18" for birdie and then on the last hole UGP sunk a clutch 12-footer for birdie and the victory. Unfortunately our winnings only came out to one dollar, LOL.

Art, when we played the Byrd course back in Feb. it was fine, greens rolled good and fairways were better then decent. On the Maples course after the first 2 greens on the front nine which were in need of TLC we found the rest good and they rolled smoothly, big improvement there over the last year when we played. Fairways a touch thin and roughs were rough and patchy but playable.
