Yesterday I played the Seminole Golf course; very nice course, well kept and very picturesque with, pines, hardwoods and quite a few birds (geese and herons mostly) near the small lakes. The greens were very fast, much faster than I am used to in my limited playing time. I didn’t care for the Nike clubs too much either. I thought I would like a heavier driver and the Nike driver was heavier that what I have played with in the past, but I didn’t care for it. It isn’t as though I’m an expert by any means. And the other clubs seemed heavier as well. Though I am surprised I did as well with the Three “wood” as I did. So far I really like the MacGregor clubs at Hammer’s Glen the best. But, this weekend I should have my own clubs, although they will belong to Chad, I will be able to keep them and therefore call them my own and it will be nice to play with and get accustomed to one set of clubs.
I wanted to play the full 18 hole course, but was chased off the course early by bad weather, lots of heavy wind, some rain, but quite a bit of lightening. There is something about being the tallest thing on an elevated green in a lightening storm that will send a golfer (this one at least) scurrying to the clubhouse. I left after the 15th hole.
On the cart was an incredibly cool 6” X 8” electronic tablet with a GPS device that also contained a map of the course. The display would show the current hole and the distances from the tees to the pin and an overhead view of the entire hole. The really neat thing was that after hitting and then driving to the ball the GPS device measured the distance the ball traveled and the distance was displayed on the tablet along with the position of the ball on the hole and the remaining distance to the pin.
Tuesday I met the SUN rep at the account for a refresher course on the 3590 tape drives in preparation for SUN taking over the account tomorrow. I am so ready to get home.
