Rain threatened in the AM but by the time play started it was another
beautiful day in paradise. The course was once again set up for scoring
and there were some takers in all flights, sadly the goat was not one.
None of the pins were in nasty places and as mentioned before the rough
was friendly so even errant shots could be put in play for par. One of
the more interesting sequences of the day belonged to Matt Milton who shot
74 in the "B" flight. His second shot on the par 5 5th hole, after
waiting for play to clear the green (did I mention this was a par 5,) was
an IRON. He pushed it to the left (he is a lefty) and hit a tree forcing
him to play a provisional. When we reached the area down by the green we
discovered his ball just in bounds and in back of a miraculous second shot
by the goat.
Relieved that he was safe he proceeded to hit a fat chip that barely
cleared the bunker, hit the down slope and trickled forward to about 4
feet for a birdie putt which he made!!! (I know you are wondering so --- I
chunked my chip, limped onto the green and two putted for a bogie). Such
is golf. BTW that Milton family is quite something, younger brother shot
a second round 79 for a combined 159 in the "C" flight! That is some
shooting. Congratulations.
Not much to report other than that. Event is fun, course is enjoyable,
and the event is well run. I would have preferred to play from the back
tees but then we may have people finishing in the dark. Maybe they will do
that for the final round.
Respectfully submitted.

It
was a beautiful day for golf and some folks played really well. For
example in my group Matt went OB on #1, recovered for a bogie 6 and then
went on to birdie #9 finishing one over for the first nine. He did come
down to earth some on the back but still that was some nine holes. I
think it is a family affair because his kid brother (I think) shot an 80
in the C flight.
On
the flip side of that Ivan was doing a nature walk in the trees the first
nine posting a 45 but then righted the ship for a 38 on the back with a
coupe of nice scrambles. Wayne was steady with a pair of 41’s.even with
one OB in #5.
I
was surprised to see that we played from the white tees. Three of us
played the practice round from the blues thinking that would be the
logical setup. Pearl from the back tees can be really long. It probably
makes some sense to keep it short so that the playing time stays
reasonable. Back tees could have made for a long afternoon.
For
the most part the course was set up for scoring. The one exception might
have been # 8 had the green been a tad faster. That is a short par 4 and
there has to be a way to protect the course but putting the pin on the
down slope between two tiers was a bit much, or so it seemed. Our group
actually played it well although I was asking where the clown head and
Ferris Wheel were.
I
think it helps if you play Pearl more than just the practice round. Take
# 17 for example, that is a fairly easy par 5 if you just play it smart (I
didn’t). The green rolls away from you on the back so you have to adjust
accordingly. Number 6 can be tricky because you can’t feel the wind
coming down through the valley and if you don’t take an extra club you
just end up surprised and short.
Saturday is another day and may be a bit wet. It is a well run and
enjoyable event, kudos to those who put it on.
Respectfully Submitted,
