dont laugh kyle thats what i normaly shot a$$ hole. were not all as good as you. jk

[kpaulhus]

Im not that good lol. Jim was wiping my ass around the course last Saturday with all the greens he hit. I shot a 107 in Feb.... I just laugh at Kevin, cuz I know what he means. He sent me a text saying he figured out something on his swing on the 14th hole and I know the feeling. Ive been on the last hole of a shitty round and was like, duh! How did I not do that all round?

the pins were in position 2.. he is right about some of the approach shots though. the greens were fast and for some reason i always had a downhill putt..it was frustrating except for the last few holes when i pulled it all together.

Sorry you did not play well but don't feel bad as River Hills can be a very demanding course based on the reasons I mentioned...my first few times playing it were not very good as well but once I learned the greens (which side of the green to be on based on where the pins were) I started to score a lot better.

My first time playing it on hole #17 (par 5)...the pin was on the front and I hit my third shot to the back of the green. I proceeded to putt it all the way off the green and hit a great putt...that green slopes severely back to front and is very fast. If you played from the White Tee's it is 6,536 yds with a slope rating of 134...that is a lot harder then Rocky Point or Diamond Hill. Also they use River Hills for many FSGA qualifiers so it must be considered a tough course....

Kevin - I would like to borrow it. When do you head out of town? I would return it though. Once I have it mastered I would want to share it with others!

Are any of you guys interested in playing the occasional round with me on a Tuesday? I'd welcome the company. My friend and Dad are having some medical problems so they've not been able to play much.

[Mrd19abhs]

I can go everyonce in a while on tuesdays. it would just have to be an early tee time cause i work at 2

[2puttmike]

That would work for me. Let me know if you want to play tues the 9th any time after 7am. I live near clearwater but I could meet you at a course close to you.

[Mrd19abhs]

I cant on the 9th broke :( but i can on the 16th. any time before 9:30 and i dont mind meeting somewhere in the middle.

[2puttmike]
