Hartford, anyone play it? Esox?

Played there today, tee's off at 5:00 & was done with 18 holes at 7:00. Didn't think I was rushing but the pace of play goes up when you are hitting well & not losing balls. The course was ok, nothing great. It's saving grace is the fact that it only costs $17 after 5pm for unlimited golf with a cart. Well actually the greens are pretty nice too, pretty damn fast too.

Have never been on a course that had fairways so wide, it was next to impossible to miss one. Shot 42's front & back which I felt was ok considering it was my 1st time there.

Probably the oddest hole on the course is #17, it's a 147 yd par 3. Nothing unusual about that except to get to the green you need to launch the ball pretty high to clear 2 huge trees & are in the way. Only way I can describe it is imagine a 150 yd hole & 100 yds out from the tee box they built a huge brick wall 4-5 stories tall that you need to clear in order to hit the green.

What I think was my best shot was another par 3. It's 214 yds & I hate those sort of distances for par 3's. Anyways used my trusty 3w & actually landed it on the damn green, just about crapped myself when it actually worked out just as I pictured.

Score could have been a little better except I came up with a couple double bogeys to go along with the 8 pars & 0 birdies.
