We recently went to Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama for a short 3 day golf trip. Let me say this that we went 10 years ago in June and it was awesome. This time the courses were still awesome but don't go in March. It is not quite far enough south to head go in March.
The fairways were patchy but green. The greens were aerified. The collars were brown and the course were soaking wet- not to metion that we stomached the same storms that blew the top of the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Anther issue was the fact that no one had played any golf this year, or since October for that matter. If your doing a golf trip in March- think Gulf Shores, think Orlando, think Jacksonville, think Texas, think Phoenix.
I had a nice eratic 4 round of golf.
88 in a downpouring of rain and a lightning delay
78 at a tough course with 3 three putts.
102 the same day as the 78. I haven't shot over 90 in a few years but definately not over 100. We were having a bit of fun that day. Balls were flying into water hazards and the 3 wood and hybrid took a back seat to the driver many times when it shouldn't have.
The last day was the toughest course and I had a respectable 85 with a whole lot of scrambling. The course was 6700 yards from the middles and it was soaking wet and almost all uphill.
Oh well more golf in the future.
