Carol's Epic Road Trip: Day 2 (Redhawk Golf Course)

By
Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.
What a great day yesterday at Redhawk Golf Course in Nampa, Idaho. It was an awesome way to kick off the golf portion of my road trip. This trip is about connecting with people and I made two new friends who are part of a large Facebook group I belong to called Women Who Golf.  Yesterday's new friends are Heather and Colleen.

We had so much fun and I was introduced to a new birdie juice... GRIND!  We enjoyed 2 shots (of birdie juice) thanks to two birdies. We had many more missed chances too. I suppose, the golf Gods were counting and decided we'd had enough alcohol for one round... so no more birdies we allowed. LOL

Redhawk is a challenging course in that it requires a lot of strategy when planning shots. LOTS of bunkers. I was in two but, as Colleen would say, she had many more "opportunities" to practice her sand shots than Heather or I did. LOL The greens were hard to read and especially challenging since they'd been aerated about 3 weeks ago and still not healed. Hard to get a smooth roll when it's bouncing it's way to the hole. And, might I mention, it's best to stay out of the rough. It was a fun day and I played well. Scored 82.

Today's adventure includes Jim Paulson so you'll have to check back for that post on another day.

I'm sitting here thinking those are the bluest skies I've seen in awhile.  However, I'm sitting here in Sacramento where we have been under a blanket of wildfire smoke for several days.

The pandemic has really brought back road trips for a lot of people, and just hanging out with close friends. It's one positive. :

Morning Carol.

If I could shot an 82, I may be talked into going back, however right now, the desire is still not there.

Hello Carol - while I caught a glimpse of this on Facebook, it seems seeing/reading it here adds a different perspective.  Or it could be more evidence that my power to retain information is in constant need for improvement.  Anything(and possibly everything) is a possibility.  Have fun as your epic road trip continues. . .

It is nice to see some green grass in your area.  Smoke from Tahoe region is blowing back to the ocean 6 hour driving distance away.  Will not see any rain for 2-3 months with little water left.....   Everyone is practicing brown lawn now.

I am glad that you had such a good time and the reward of birdie juice waiting for you might lead to you scoring more birdies, haha.

Nice round at a new course. Bunkers are your freind. I would much rather be in a bunker than in the rough.
