This is usually an enjoyable "scramble" with about 150 golfers spread in groups (shotgun start) over courses with 3 nines. Slow but not too bad.
Last night we had another big downpour. And this morning we had to delay it an hour while a big storm came through.
BUT... one of the nines was flooded out and this year there were 220 golfers!!! :shocked:
Now you probably get the picture.
3 or 4 groups of 4 guys (2 carts per group) PER HOLE. And the backups at the par 3's looked like the golf cart parking area by the clubhouse.
To say it took awhile to complete is an understatement... SEVEN HOURS and this is a scramble with everyone picking up and hitting from one spot..:real angry:
And after the storm went through this morning the sun came out and baked us. Lot's of beer was consumed and the golf skills seriously suffered but the steak dinner afterward was okay.
First tee, we're the first group off and they select me to hit the first drive in front of about 40 people... all watching. I absolutely crushed one straight down the middle as long as I am capable of hitting a golf ball. (It was the "longest drive" hole on that nine) and I was about 4 yards short of the winner. Maybe 260=275 yards somewhere in there. (400 yard par 4 and 130 yards in). Anyway, that was the highlight of my day and hit most of my drives pretty decent. I hit all the other clubs (including my putter) like dog shit. Maybe it was the long wait between shots?
