My Niner golf group had our Championship Tournament last Thursday. The first day of the tournament was a week ago. We weren’t able to have the second day of the tournament the next day, due to inclement weather. Luckily, Thursday was a nice day.
It is fun playing with friends and enjoying each other’s great shots. We have 3 different 9 hole courses. The courses have “nice holes” and “not so nice holes.” There is one hole that looks like it is 10 miles long. It is one of those golf holes that you think you will never finish. My friend said, “do you think we will ever get to the green?” We laughed. It did not look like we would, but finally we did. We pick up after we get to 10 with normal play, but with the Championship Tournament, you play until you sink your putt. I got an 11 on that long hole. I was glad to move to the next one.
The next hole is number 5 and is a dog leg and not a bad hole, unless you go in the dreaded woods, which is easy to do. The next hole, number 6, is also one of those, “not so nice holes.” It is full of sand and a creek, that has been known to house snakes. If you can get to the 3rd shot, you have to hit in between the creek and the woods. You kind of want to just close your eyes and hope the ball goes straight.
We finished the round and had a winner and a medalist. They will receive their prizes at our Holiday Party in December. The prizes are golf throws with the Niners Champion Winner monogrammed on it. It looks great and they will love it. I would love to hear about your golf group and see any pictures. I look forward to golf each week, playing with my wonderful friends.
