Course for Sectionals

[MiniMoe]

I visited the course I will be playing sectionals for the Open qualifying. OMFG! The course is perfect in every way. Not a blade of grass is out of place and the bunkers are raked every day. This is an old style golf course with very tight fairways and small fast bent grass greens. Some of the fairways are 15 yrds across. One 4 par is 465 into the wind with bunkers in the landing zone. That fairway is 25 yrds wide and bottle necks down to about 18 at 280 off the tee. I am so excited.

Time to separate the men from the boys.
Good luck!

Yeah, I've played the course Sectional out here is going to be played. It is my new favorite golf course, and I will retire there. Perfect in everyway, just like you say that place is. Great design. Great short game practice facility. Course in emaculate shape. And, a true test of golf. I'm extrememly disappointed I won't get to play it for Sectional. But my buddy and I are going out to watch everyone play on the 8th. Have fun MiniMoe.

You already know the wind direction?

I hope you hit a lot of fairways!

[MiniMoe]

Make it or not, I'm going to play the best I can and enjoy the experience. We spent almost 4 hrs charting the course and greens. I talked to a local and got a few pointers on which way the greens tend to break and where to aim a few of the more difficult tee shots to give me the best angle to the green.

This is going to be fun.

This may be a stupid question but I have never been to one, do you get caddies on your qualifier or are you all on your own?

[ctw262]

Have fun out there and good luck!

[MiniMoe]

you are responsible for bringing your own caddy if you want one. In sectionals, you are not required to have one... I don't think. I have a friend going to help. It makes it a lot easier to focus on the shot at hand instead of having to do all the extra junk like rake bunkers and replace divots, take your bag on the other side of the green.

Those bunkers wouldn't be in my landing zone! Sounds like it's gonna be a great round. Have fun and good luck!

That's why I was asking. I would think it would be a lot better with the help.

So?

Since neither of the two qualifiers were from San Antonio I don't think you made it.

I played great golf except for one or two holes. I was -1 with 10 left to play and made a double on a difficult par three. I hit it long, got it on and three putted. After that I was going at everything because I had to shoot 29 on the last nine to have a chance. Ended up 5 over total for 36.

I enjoyed every moment and I learned a lot about my game and myself. I will be looking to play more this year in a few mini-tour events when I raise some money.

We'll be rooting for ya!

Earlier this season, my course was used as a sectional qualifier. They souped it up nicely for the boys! Just when you thought the greens can't get any slicker. DAYUM! And they're hitting from the tips of the tips. Makes a hack like me really appreciate players with talent!

[RemyM]

Ah, thought you were someone else but have it figured out now.

Small consolation, you beat Notah Begay.
