As I mentioned earlier, I am learning and yes it beat me up. As I type, I am sitting with a heating pad on my back. I began by playing the blue tees with the two younger guys in our foursome. I moved-up with the other senior golfer in our foursome after five holes. . . not sure what I was trying to prove and to whom?
I was able to grab a rate of $24.95 and they have a senior rate of $29.99 which includes lunch. I usually play during the week, since I am retired. One thing I have attempted to do is play courses that are not busy during the week, since the added pressure does not help advance my game.
I have not played Emerald, but would like to in the future. I have played about 18-20 different courses in the area this year. I usually chase price when playing and like the courses with less player pressure, to an extent.
