On a beautiful Sunday morning we played a beautiful golf course. Can not say how good condition the Surf Club is in. Fairways are perfect, the greens beyond perfect. So smooth and fast - do NOT be above the hole. Such a pleasure to play this old course with great guys. Hats off to Artist who shot even par from the tips! And it was an easy 72 the way he hit the ball and putted. Quevy also played very well recovering from a triple bogey on the third hole to shoot 74 I think. Both hit it very long and well. Can't believe they made a 68 year old short guy play the tips too (actually it was my choice - there are times I like to stretch myself). I easily broke my goal on score and was pretty happy. Quevy is from MB - if you get a chance to play with him, do it. He is also an excellent golf instructor if you need help.
If you've never played Surf - get there, my opinion is that it is the best conditioned course in the area day in and day out and an great old school layout. Nothing flashy - just solid holes all the way around. They also have a great pro and staff - Brian can help you get on.

Can't imagine how slick the greens are now if they're better than they were in April! Sounds like a great day all around.

- Forgot to ask...what was your goal?

My goal is better off unsaid. Let’s leave it as that there were several par fours that played as short par 5s for me.that I couldn’t reach in two I hit a lot of 3 woods from the fairway today. I shot 77 with a double on 18 and my goal was to break 80 from the tips. Quevy and artist hit their drives an average of 50 yards past me

Breaking 80 from the tips was my guess.
Nice round.

We had fun in the sun!
I wish I coulda filled out the foursome. Sounds like a fantastic day. And I woulda got to use my straw hat to hide my face.
Glad you boys had a good time.

UGP you are spot on about the Surf course condition and Staff, both are A1! I personally love playing old traditional style courses so this George Cobb designed course is right up my alley. The greens were tour level perfect rolling around a 12 and there were no bad lies in the fairways. Like UGP said, "you don't want to be above the hole." It was a pleasure playing with UGP, Artist, and Zack the camera man who began the round with back spasms that stayed with him all day. All I can say Zack is that I know your pain and hope you get better by Friday!
See you guys later!
Thanks for the update!
Seems that golf was great... and the company also!
A perfect combo to say the least!
Thanks for sharing!

Dennis - Watching Quevy and Artist hit long towering drives was truly enjoyable. On the par 5 5th hole Quevy hit a beautiful drive and followed it up with a high 5 iron over some tall trees to 20 feet! On the very long 10th hole par 5 Artist was hole high left. When you're with players that can bomb it - and keep it in play you have to remember just to play your game while enjoying theirs.

Thanks to Quevy and UGP for letting me tag along. These guys striped it!
Saw Yacht Rock Revue last night at HOB - awesome!
Thanks for the update on the course. it sounds like a great day was had by all
I know so well about being 40 to 50 behind the long knockers. You UCP is right on you have to just play your game you can't play their game.
