Here it is – the ISLAND GREEN at Magnolia Greens golf course-
Leland, N.C.
And across the water – by the tall pines –
Is the TEE BOX!
We were four holes from being done –
Not counting this par three.
And we were playing a scramble threesome.
Cindy – Sherry and I-
Buck doesn’t play anymore except to putt sometimes!
The sun was out, but one lonely dark cloud was overhead, and the rest of the sky was blue!
We were all next to the pine trees because it started to rain –
Not hard but steady in the sunshine.
From behind the green –
Surrounded by water on three sides!
It is an intimidating hole –
When standing on the tee –
All I can see is water and a green hard to hold.
We stood for a while, hoping this one cloud would move on.
No one was behind us – it was late afternoon!
And the foursome in front was out of sight-
They had no rain!
Finally – I just said “OKAY- I AM GOING TO TEE OFF”!
My ball is the fastest one away.
From the tee box-
It looked like it was going to run in!
It rolled inches from the hole and beyond!
We were all excited because in the scramble –
It most likely is a birdie!
Cindy hit next-
If you look closely, you can see the raindrops!
And this one was even closer – it also went by the hole, just missing going in!
NOTE: Two weeks ago, she had a hole-in-one on this very par three!
Sherry hit next, but it almost went across the water, but did not make it!
My shot was about two and a half feet.
Cindy – maybe six inches on a good day!
Here we are – and a long time ago, I also had a hole-in-one at Saint Bonaventure number six.
We continued on, having a birdie.
I am proud to say –
We carded two bogies – two birdies and five pars –
For an even par round of 36!
I personally think Magnoila Greens is one of the best courses I have played.
We continued to enjoy golf in the South.
