The boss recently gave me the keys to the jet so a freind of mine and I went on a little golf trip to Omaha. Ok, the boss is the government and we were doing training missions, but it still is a cool job.

We were planning on Myrtle Beach but cost and the weather made us look elsewhere. I had been to Omaha before on a trip and remembered the airport was nice logistically so I looked up courses on the net.

We found the Players Club on the net, an Arnold Palmer design, and booked a tee time for Sat. That left Friday afternoon. We settled on a nice course near the airport called Shoreline.

Weather as perfect, mid 80s, partly cloudy, a nice break from 105 in Del Rio. The grass was lush and green and the course was in great shape. We had to wait for a tourney to finish before we could tee off and that group left the bent grass greens a little stressed from ball marks (why don't people repair ball marks?)

Over all Shoreline was a nice relaxing course with lots of water and trees but not punishing. If you fly into Omaha, its only about 15-20 min from Eppley Field. At 20 bucks twilight, its a great deal.

The Players Club is a new housing development course soon to go Private. It was in great shape too, lush and green. GPS carts are included and sat morning was 65 bucks. One might think of NE as flat corn fields, but the Omaha area has its share of rolling hills and this course took full advantage of them. Overall a very pleasant experience, I would recomend this course to players of all levels.

Sunday's plans to play the Offut AFB, courese were rained out unfortuneatly.

Nightlife in Omaha is great too. The recently renovated downtown area is chock full of terrific restaurants and shops. Just across the river in Iowa, are muliple riverboat casinos if you are so inclined. Being it was the home of Omaha Steaks, I ate my monthly beef quotient. Very Yummy....

If you are looking for a golf trip and want to escape the summer heat, check out Omaha. Nice courses, resonable prices, good food, and usually a lot cooler than FL or TX.

Thanks for the kind words about Omaha. I believe Indian Creek is a fine course also. Prices in Omaha are low with lots of specials since a number of newer golf course housing developments have overbuilt the market. To bad you didn't get to play willow lakes like you planned. It looks easy but plays hard.

    • He’s also the best anchoring putter there is!😏
    • And  he  has had alot  of  health issues as you expect  from someone still playing at  67
    • Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting. 
    • To still be winning tournaments at 67 is quite incredible. He must also be the youngest person to have shot his age or better by however many times he's done it. Amazing.
