Papa’s World – Golfing with friends.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

We met at Jim and Dottie’s home in Edenton, N.C. for a friends and golfing weekend!

Cindy – Debbie – Dottie-

and Sherry getting ready to tee off-

on our get-together for the GALS vs. GUYS golf scramble.

They beat us by two strokes –

even though we shot a 77 at the OCCANO golf course –

First time there for Sherry and me.

It was a fantastic links course –

very well groomed –

greens are excellent and the views of the bay are fantastic.

This course is in Merry Hill, N.C.

I would go back in a heartbeat!

There were SEVEN TEE BOXES on each hole!

It was a tough course but really fun to play.

To see it just type in –

The back tees made the course 7200 yards long!

The girls waiting for us to tee off –

they wanted us to go first –

we had the course almost all to ourselves –

we very seldom saw anyone!

Some views of the course with the bay in the background.

A selfie of the girls –

with us on the next green in front of them!

It was a par three with a 160-yard carry over the gulch to the green-

and then hold the green from rolling off!

All four of us were on the green or fringe.

We almost birded this hole.

Some pictures of some swings on the course-

and the guys before teeing off.

You almost could putt off the fairways!

It was a beautiful day –

and always seemed a breeze wherever we were.

The day went so fast –

or so it seemed –

but we had such a good time.

Some shots on the course-

and this view was just one of many!

Our time here was one to remember –

We would play the next day-

to see if we could beat them!

I will write that in another blog!

Papa’s World – Lunch at a historic eatery in Edenton,N.C.

View from the window in the Herring Canning and Packing factory in Edenton, N.C. right on the waterfront!

Completley renovated with pictures on the wall depicting the operation of the canning and fishing procedures.

Jim – Paul – Dottie – Janet – Sherry in one of the dining areas remodeled over from the Herring factory.

We drove here because Jim and Dottie’s lot was only a few miles away and this is the historic district of Edenton –

and just a stone’s throw away from the bay and a raised light-house.

The meal was very good – had hamburger and fries – drinks were good and they had flights of beer which Dottie and Sherry shared.

Flight of beer served on an old piece of driftwood and all the light fixtures hang from the ceiling in pieces of driftwood.

Papa’s World – building a dream near Edenton – golf course and bay.

Our friends of years and years – bought this lot just outside Edenton, N.C. – at the far end is a canal and access to the bay.

On the far side of the bay – is the Outer Banks. The canal is 800 feet straight back.

Looking across the bay to the Outer Banks – this view is less than a half mile to their lot.

A dream coming true in a little over 1 1/2 years when Dottie retires and construction begins on their dream home.

Right across from their lot sits the number two hole – a par three! I see lots of sitting on the front porch watching the golfers trying to hit the green!

View back up the road to their building lot from the yard at the clubhouse – golfing with a view and boat access to the bay!

Dottie gazing out over the bay to the Outer Banks – her dream coming true – I envision walks here with chairs in the early evening!
