Southern NE Guys-Who's up for 2morrow

[ezra76]

This course http://www.fennerhill.com/Club/Scripts/Home/home.asp has a great deal on Thurs. for $18. It is one of the best manicured courses in that area. I will be playing it tomorrow and want some company. Neal, Sling, new guys up in MA? I will definitely be willing to carpool if you are coming from MA, I live in Providence, RI less than a mile off 95. It's about 30minutes from me and I would like to make a tee time between 9:45-11am.

Tee time confirmed for 10:48am. Let's go you bums, don't miss your chance to play a great course with a Shottalk legend .

Fenner hill is nice.....I am working in Wseterly tomorrow too.....but I have to go to another job right after......set something up for a sunday and I'm in.

[ezra76]

I play the cheapest I can get on for Sundays. If I can get on Triggs, I go there since it is 1mile from my house and costs $26 for me. If not I go to Meadowbrook, my favorite little hack track. $22 and I usually play 27 at no extra cost. You'd probably break 90 there no problem. I've saved pars after pop ups that only go 20yds.

PS- I lived in Westerly from age 4-14. It's grown a lot since I was kid.

Ezra - What's your opinion of Fenner Hill #3?

[ezra76]

I'll tell you after I play it. You wanna go or what? Christ, I made a tee time for at least 3 and nobody wants to play with me. $18 for this course is a bargain and a half. Plus you get to see me lose half a dozen balls and throw my driver into the woods. LOL.

BTW-I'm actually do for a good round if statistics mean anything.

[ezra76]

Actually I just looked at it. I think aim at the trap and try to swing 115mph with a driver will do. With that much room to the right I could care less about an errant one. If I end up in a decent lie the 4wood fade is a good bet. If I have to lay up a 7iron should get me into GW range and I have very good control with it.

I would but i have class....and i cant start skipping yet. I'll be up for a round soon though, once i get ahead in these classes(only the 4th class and i missed the first, whoops)

[ezra76]

No problem Neal, one of us has to be the responsible one around here. Where are you going to school now? College? I look forward to playing again. Maybe at Putnam, I owe that course a swift kick in the.... well you get the picture. I need to find my Prov1's too, man those drop off's on the front just ate them up. LOL.

[ezra76]

OK. Last call. Tee time is at 10:48. Anyone interested please PM me and I'll give you my cell #. I'll be heading out in a little over an hour, 9:45.

I'd be down for putnam again sometime, i think they have a $1 per hole deal on Fridays after 2 or 3. I'll check, and im off fridays. I'm going to a community college here and taking classes 4 days a week, so i have weekends off(bust me all you want for going to a community college guys, i'm getting paid $150 a month to do it instead of paying the 10-20 grand a year some of the places i got in wanted)

Smart man, nothing wrong with going to CC for first 2 years and save some $$$$ so you can play more and get new clubs..

Alrighty, just got back. I ended up going alone and they paired me with another single. Low and behold it was a guy I played with at my other course a few weeks ago. He had said he collects a lot of balls and would give me some Prov1's. He came through, had a half dozen mint ones for me.
Now for the round. This course was nothing as far as length to me. The greens were borderline ridiculous though. Never have I had a putt I had to hit away from the hole, until today. I had a really tough time stopping shots and chipping. I ended up shooting a 94 which I consider pure crap as my swing was decent today. It had a lot of hills, uneven lies and blind shots. I definitely liked it though. There were a couple short par 4's I didn't care for on the back but other than that it was very good and very challenging. Next time I'll bring my 3W-5W setup and I could have really used a 58-60* wegde for the all the shortsided over bunker shots.
