LOL...too funny and true...heck #1 can be challenging from any tee if you don't hit it straight.  I think more and more golf courses should have people play the proper tee according to their GHIN handicap...it sure would speed up play and I think golfers would enjoy themselves more...heck I have even seen a 30 handicapper play the tips because I am and I tell them they do not have to because I am but they insist...then after about 3-4 holes they change and start playing the proper tee...wonder what score they posted for their handicap that day???

We have 8:22 at RH every Sat - you are more than welcome to join

That would be great! Thanks! Can you hook me up with some directions from the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay by the airport?

Rebel_Golfer you will enjoy RH...if I remember correctly the tough holes are #4 and I always thought #9 was a good hole...if you play the tips then #6 will be a challenege...enjoy!!!

I am looking forward to it! I will probably stick to the whites or whatever is just ahead of the tips... it is winter for me after all so I am probably more than a little rusty. Plus, I am not chancing bringing my new clubs through the airline, just gonna throw my old set in a travel bag. So, this could be very interesting!!! lol...

Oh you will enjoy RH no matter which tee box you play from...I only mentioned #6 from the tips becuase it is literally all carry over water (par 3) from the tips...from the white there is land between you and the hole...

Its #7 but yeah that is a fun hole. Thats prob my favorite hole even from the white. 155 yrds all the time from the whites. So as soon as I put my putter back in back after #6 I grab my 7 iron out. lol

Oh yeah it is #7...dang it has a been a long time since I played there...I forgot about #4 (par 3)  when I was counting earlier.

So then on my earlier post I meant #5 is a a tough hole not #4..isn't #5 the #1 handicap hole?

I think 8 is the #1 hc hole but #5 is the longest par 4.

Just a quick question is Pine Barrens worth it?  Sorry to hijack...

Just got back home, and already dreading the difference in weather (30 degrees colder w/ ice storm on the way, YAY!) Anyway, just wanted to thank the guys (meenman & Mrd19abhs)  at River Hills for taking me out on their track. Had a GREAT time! Enjoyed the track and the weather was perfect. Game was off, but still had fun so that is good.

I did manage to sneak in 18 this morning at Rocky Point as well. Worked out perfectly as I teed off at about 7:20, rolled right through and was back at the hotel by 11:30. Not a bad track, typical of a muni, reminded me of Rocky Point back home.

Thanks again guys, really enjoyed playing. If you ever make it up this way, let me know and we'll get out and hit a local track up this way!

I think everyone had a good time.

I will say you experienced those bunkers more in one day than I have in a few months, but I appreciate you elevating my game for a day anyway.

[Mrd19abhs]

I would agree it was nice to have someone new out and playing had a good time and if I ever make it up that way ill be sure to take ya up on your offer to get out and play a round. Glad ya enjoyed it.
