OK, I've not gone to the beach today. Jay and I went golfing. 27 holes on the Carolina National Golf Course.
I probably hit about three good drives and on one hole, hit three bad ones.
So, a beating by Jay, who played reasonably. We both hit a few off the course.
The Carolina National course winds through a residential area (you are reminded that there are restrooms and there is no reason not to use them) and also a bit of the coastal Marsh area. The marshes are quite interesting with reeds and water ways. I think the tide was out and that made for more reeds than water.
In any case there are a number of holes with forced carries over the Marsh. More that wend through the trees, tall Pines for the most part, and then various sand traps with sand in some of them.
We played with a guy named Jay, who has retired and moved down from Massachusetts. I forget where he was from but when I mentioned Fall River, where our friend Cindy and her mom hail from, the mentioned his town and I inferred from that that it was nearby. Well, it is a small state.
Here mentioned old Liz Warren, who he felt was a bit of a disgrace to the state.
Jay was good company and knew the course, so was helpful when we were planning our strategy to a hole.
We trundled back to the rental property and I have inhaled a couple of porters and some popcorn.
With the 27 holes we got a lunch and chose the chicken salad sandwich, which was quite good on whole wheat and had some walnuts and onions mixed with the mayo and chicken chunks.
We drank a lot of water. The course has coolers every few holes and we didn't miss filling our many water bottles each time.
We saw a lot of deer on the course. On one hole we were looking for Jay's ball in a small forest and found a family of deer looking back at us. There was a buck and 3 females and then 2 very small new ones, still with spots. A number of deer also ran across various fairways while we were playing. It should have been obvious that the fairway was a pretty safe place to be.
