Sorry for all our STUFF we have to do but that should make it worth the ride especially the suspense to see if Tedddy wiped out the clams at Baxter's?
Originally Posted By RoadTrip The Tripsters play golf… Our favorite local executive course: Hole 1 This hole is designed to make lousy golfers think they can actually golf. Almost EVERYONE hits the green off the tee. This is golf as it should be. Hole 2 This hole is designed to take away the confidence from #1 and show you just how lousy you really are. My wife ALWAYS ends up in the rough on the right side of the fairway. What always amazes me is how her next shot or two again lands in the rough on the right side of the fairway. This is when she uses her Hand Wedge and picks up the ball and throws it towards the green. We consider the Hand Wedge to be a legal club. Hole 3 This is a short hole but is littered with hazards. If you can get from the tee to the green without your shoes or ball turning blackish green it is almost a miracle. Goose poop you know. I once hit a goose with my tee shot and the darn thing just continued to stand there. How stupid are they anyway? Hole 4 This whole gives you the option of playing around the water or across it. If you play around it you look like a wimp. If you play across it you always lose your ball. Even if you make it across the water, the green is sloped back towards it. Unless you lay the ball up there exactly right it rolls off the green and back into the water. We always use water balls on this hole (crummy hacked up golf balls so we don’t lose good ones). Hole 5 You always have to wait at this hole for the group ahead of you. I don’t know why. Maybe they are all so disgusted after #4 that they took a break. The hole is rather non-descript. The excitement comes when I lose patience and tee off before the previous group is off the green. I usually can’t make that green in one. But sometimes I do. No way THAT ISNâ€T EXCITING!! Hole 6 I don’t know why anyone would put a hole like this on a nice little executive course. The thing is about a million yards long and it is all uphill. We usually bring a sandwich to eat if we get hungry while playing this hole. Hole 7 This hole is a nice little hole unless you hit the drainage ditch and culvert along the right side of the fairway. My wife always hits it. It is kind of a wet version of Hole 2. Hole 8 This hole gives you confidence again. The hole is down a large hill from the tee and you almost always hit the green off the tee. If we’ve done poorly on #7, we’ll sometimes give ourselves a birdie on # 8. Even if we didn’t quite get it. Because, well you know, we really COULD have. Hole 9 There is water along the entire fairway on this hole, but it is off to the left. I always slice and never hook, so it really isn’t a problem for me. For some reason we always have a difficult time putting on this green. The ball never goes where you think it will go, and never seems to go the same way twice. The best we ever did on this hole was when we played it in complete darkness. Sometimes it is better not seeing what you are doing. Finding our tee shot took a while though. Right off the green is a picnic table. It is useful for totaling your scorecard and having a place to sit while you wash the goose poop off your shoes. There is a ball cleaner there so you can wash the poop off your balls too. GOLF BALLS. See? I certainly don’t see how anyone could think golf is boring!

Pull up a chair near the rail and laugh at everyone who shanks and slices off the first tee, while sipping my drink and enjoying the sunshine.
