Jeff, thank you for the welcome note! I see I am classified as a "mini-golfer". LOL .. never been accused of that before, i'm 6 foot 5 .... 210 lbs and a former long drive guy. Thanks for making me smile!!

True distance wise .... 363 in LDA Qualifying. Cutting a corner and all that jazz isn't a true yardage ..... last weekend I hit one up over the trees with a big slinger of a draw. The hole was 520 and I was one step inside the 100 yard marker ... but that doesnt count!!

Arrowhead C.C. #9 on the Lakes 9 - Par 5, 521 yards 90º dogleg left over water. The hole goes out about 260 and dog legs dead left. Iususally hit 3 iron to the corner amd 3 wood in. But Saturday I was having one of those days (shot 44 on the front) where I figured why not, (usually I would put a little saying in here but i'm new to the forum. I'll wait until I get the true atmosphere of this forum) So I blast a huge high draw over the water thinking I didn't draw it enough and was in the tree's that seperate the hole from the driving range. My playing partner says "Look some hacker shanked one from the range." He drives over to pick it up and I hear a loud "You gotta be kidding me!!". It was one step inside the 100 yard marker dead in the center of the fairway. Now I hit it long but man I must have gotten a very very good bounce and roll out which I never get. One of those 1 in a million shots and yes, I did make an eagle ... barely fell in the side door. New to the forum ... how do I list my "Whats in the Bag" and a pic by my screen name? Thanks for the advance assistance.

I take my golf vacations to JAX, hard to beat the value down there. Courses here in Myrtle run $80-100 down there they are $35-50.

If anyone needs advice or info on courses in Myrtle .... let me know. I moved here 15 years ago and have been fotuntate enough to have played each of the 123 courses here. We're down to 118 now .... but who's counting!!!

I played Legends - The Heathland Course and Arrowhead C.C. last weekend. Shot 75 at Heathland and 78 at Arrowhead. Typical scores for me. Iw as even thru 14 at Heathland and blew up .... Arrowhead was a wied day. The firs tnine was my "driving range" nine .... shot 44 but backed it up with a 34. The drivable par 4's and par 5's reachable in two on the Cypress nine helped me save a little face.

Just found this forum today while searching for different golf forums. Seems like a good forum to check out so I signed up and look forward to talking golf with everyone. If any of you ever visit Myrtle Beach, SC let me know .. I've lived here for a little over 15 years and have played all 118 courses.
