Tried to squeeze in a round today. Because I’m playing by myself I check in with the marshal and wait till the foursome in front of me is well under way, hopefully they’ve teed off from number two, before I hit. I play the first hole and walk over to number two, only to find that the foursome is just teeing off. They had to wait for the foursome that’s in front of them. Watching the leading foursome is like watching a pin ball game, their all over the course, mostly in the woods, and of course they’re all helping each other hunt for the lost balls. Eventually they manage to make it to the green and the foursome in front of me tee’s off. What are the chances of finding eight golfers all the same caliber, playing back to back? Well I found them. Of the four I think one guy accidentally hit the fairway. So I figure this is going to be a slow round, but hopefully the foursome in front of me will realize I’m a single and will let me play through. Yeah Sure, no such luck. So I take this opportunity to hit 3 and 4 balls and do some serious practicing. That was great for two holes, till another foursome catches me. They’re not particularly happy about me hitting multiple balls, so I stop. The 5th hole is a long par 5. The 6th is 145 yard par 3. The 7th is another par 5. On the 5th hole as I’m finishing up, I look over and there’s a foursome on the 6th green. Across from them on 7 there’s another foursome just teeing off, and of course there’s the group in front of me. Well with that I’d had course, pick up my ball and walk to the clubhouse. As I near the clubhouse, I can see that number hole 9 is empty, so is 10, and looking across I can see that 11 is empty also. So I jump to 10, believe it or not I never seen another golfer till I got to 17. I think I’ll pass from now on Saturdays and Sundays, leave the course to people who want to play a 5 or 6 hour round of golf.
