Oh crap, it's early on Saturday morning...
I had carried my bag upstairs to the condo Friday night so that I could dry off whatever I could after it got a little damp at the bag drop so I tossed a couple beers in the pocket before we left. We stopped at a gas station/convenience store on the way to Ledgestone and I got coffee and a 24oz Coors Light and got props from Taylor for starting early. I always carry a flask and I wasn't planning on getting after it early, but you have to be prepared!
Ledgestone presented a few picture opportunities:
Waterfall by the putting green with 18 green to the right
Taking a picture of Mike G taking a picture (with Eddie and Chris and my bag with Scooby Doo in the background)
After a little time at the range and messing around in the practice bunker, Ron and I headed up to the first tee to watch/heckle people going off. Cace, you were off first and I think you left before I got done. Hope you played well and I'll see you next time!
I left my drive on #1 out to the right and was on the severe hill and tried to get it out of the thick stuff without tumbling backwards onto my head. Thankfully, Ron, Alex, and Darin didn't laugh at me as I took a triple on the first. Not the way to start! I trundled around the front in 45 after that and didn't fall in the water on #6.
#5
#7 (who put that tree there?)
I have horrible distance judgement and almost asked how far the tree and the bunker were and then realized that it was pretty far and I was just going to sound like a Richard so I kept my mouth shut and just hit the ball. Here's Ron bombing it (out to the right):
I loved this course and was doing fine (bogeys on the par 4s and a double on #13) until we pulled up on #15 tee
We have a hole like this in north Jersey (Crystal Springs #11) which is built off a 100ft drop into a quarry and it's a two club difference. I'm loath to express playing opinions on a golf course when I'm not playing expertly, but I knew I had this. I left it just off the green to the left and had to chip over a bowl on the green. Two putt bogey for four and off to #16. Of course I par the hardest hole on the course. Drive, leave my approach short, and then a creative up and down for par.
Then there's #17. 210ish par 3 with all carry over the water. Did I mention that the breeze (read: wind) was in our face? I was stubborn and hit 3h when I should have switched to 3W. I planned on leaving it out to the right, chipping up, and two-putting for bogey.
And the best-laid plans never get you laid. I honked the tee shot into the trees on the tee box before the water so I had to re-tee. My third was in the water. My fifth from the drop zone was also in the water (I apparently forgot how to make a proper golf swing and now my heart was just racing because I'm an idiot). My seventh (7th!?!?) rolled out and stayed on the green by about six inches. Hey, guess what..it was still my turn! 3-putt for 10..I won that hole and shook my head. My tee shot on #18 was all out of sorts, but I doubled the last for 97. Ron saved double from the putting green (I'm impressed) and we headed in for some lunch. Ron and I passed a short blonde on the way in and debated whether she was legal. We came to the conclusion that she was and Shane confirmed it when she walked by again. I enjoyed CJ talking up Steve the waitress as Ron got our sandwiches to go since we had 18 more godblessedforsakenholestogo in the afternoon.
Legal!

Great recaps beaker Brian. Was great meeting you, but I'd love to get a round in together next time. I loved your sentiments on 18 at Payne Stewart. That hole isn't cool at all!
It looked like it...I liked that hole... Routine par...

We are staying at ledgestone this weekend and guess what, I got us lost coming down.
