Golf

Did a quick search and aside from a thread on the UGA golf team and an effort to start a Forum golf tourney last year didn't see anything that allowed Dawgnation users to post on their own golf games...favorite courses, best scores, handicaps, equipment, etc. Had a good round? post/share!

Here's one to start: Top 3 favorite courses you've played. One man's list:

Cabo del Sol (Ocean Course, now called the Cove Course)
Bethpage Black
Ocean Club (Bahamas)

Who else?

PS- one of my favorite holes - Cabo del Sol Ocean Course at dusk...think it was 16

I've heard Streamsong is awesome...definitely on the list.

How'd you get on Olympic? Playing on WGT on my iPad is about as close as I'll get to a round there (lol)

King and prince in st Simmons and savannah harbor in savannah Georgia are two of my favorite Georgia courses (that people can actually play)

Almost hit a doe off the box is about the only highlight I got.

If I make it through 18 without running out of the 42 balls I bring then it was a good day.

My golf is limited to the southeast US, but my list goes:

1) The Honors - Ooltewah TN

2) Camp Creek - Seacrest FL

My family just joined a little local club and I took my girl out for a few holes this afternoon.

Never played the Honors course but I’ve heard how awesome it is. Nob North is down the road from me so I tee’em up there when I can.

Nob North is a nice little city owned course. I like getting down there when I can. That par 5 to start the back is a beast!

I have been very fortunate to be able to play on a lot of really special courses - not sure I could possibly limit it to 3, but here are some of my favorites:

Royal Dornoch (Scotland), Muirfield (Scotland), Royal County Down (N. Ireland), Royal Portrush (N Ireland), Old Head (Ireland)

And in the US:

Peachtree Golf Club (Atlanta). East Lake (Atlanta), Pinehurst #4 (NC - liked it more than #2), Whistling Straits (Wisc), Bandon Dunes (Oregon)

razorachilles

What a list @rwdennis - Bandon Dunes is on my list for sure, I heard it’s kind of a hassle to get to from the airport though - still worth it I assume?

I've never broken 80 but I used to flirt with it a lot when I was younger and playing more regularly.

Short list of courses I've enjoyed:

In and around Georgia: played pretty much everywhere in the Atlanta area except for Peachtree Golf Club (which is the probably hardest course in the state to get on, just ahead of Augusta National, where I've also never played.) Once birdied a par 3 at East Lake on a curling downhill 12-foot putt which was fun. The courses at Sea Island, Amelia Island, Cashiers & Highlands are always a memorable experience. When I lived in Thomasville I played at Glen Arven CC which is a great old course.

Elsewhere: did an Ireland trip once and that was awesome. Ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville, among others. (Shot even par on the front 9 at Waterville and STILL didn't break 80. Killed me.) Played Siasconset on Nantucket and that was amazing/beautiful. Had two solid rounds at Kapalua on Maui playing with my father-in-law, long time ago.

Biggest regret: never played anywhere in California.

Three of my funniest golf moments:

One of the first rounds I ever played, I was a teenager and my friend invited me to the beach (Boca Grande, FL) with his family. He and his father were scratch golfers. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was a baseball player. So I (literally) stepped into my first tee shot and it went a hard 90 degrees to the right, straight into our group's golf carts. Felt like it rattled around for 3-4 minutes, like something out of a cartoon. My friend was behind me on the tee but his dad was still getting out of his cart at the time. It's a miracle I didn't kill him.
Many years later, I played a round in Costa Rica with my father in law. He was usually better than me, but on this particular day, I was beating him so bad that he hurled his driver off a cliff and into the ocean after a poor tee shot. I'm ashamed to admit that was a very satisfying moment.
In South Georgia, a few years back, I was lining up an uphill approach shot when a red fox came prancing across the green. My foursome allowed the fox to pass and then we all hit our shots in turn. As we walked up to the hole (a full five minutes later) three beagles came barreling through the woods, and ran straight across the green, howling at full volume, chasing after that fox. It was a sight to see. (We were tempted to hang out another few minutes to see if men on horseback would soon follow.)

Were you part of the student caddy program? I had a bunch of buddies from high school that worked there doing that.
