Guys vs. Gals

Papa’s World – last day of friends get together – golfing – guys vs gals – Oak Island.

We teed off shortly after one PM.

If you scored a par – you gave a stroke to the other team – birdie was two points.

We have been handicapped this way for the last few times and it gets really close!

This is all of us – just playing for fun and being on the courses – unless you play guys vs gals!

But we also have laughed – shots – and some good golf and not-so-good golf!

Buck Dottie Cindy Jim Papa Sherry

What a great way to end up the long weekend get-together.

The end of the first nine – TIED!

You have to play very well to just tie them!

YEP, a few choice words left out there! LOL

The second nine – we played really well – boogie first hole – then six pars and two birdies!

Dottie on one of her drives – note – middle of the fairway – they all do that!
Dottie – after only starting to play a few years ago – is coming on!
This is us!

Cindy – always straight down the middle – she has game!
Sherry – when on she is on!

There are a lot of days I feel like this! LOL

Well – we tied the first nine and shot a 35 the second nine –

and won the whole scramble by ONE STROKE!

They are good and we had to shoot as good to beat them.

Dottie Sherry Cindy – laugh – smile and have fun!

Buck Jim Papa – by the seat of our pants – ONE STROKE!

Cindy – Sherry, and Dottie are in the cart – waiting to tee it up on the first hole.

We moved to Ocean Isle Beach for the weather – while it does get cold – so far no snow or ice!

At night it has gotten down into the high twenties and low thirties.

But the rest of the South – Florida included – has also gotten that cold wave.

I look outside and I see GREEN!

Buck and Jim as we wait for the ladies to tee off.

It was a calm 75 degrees on New Years Day!

We were once again doing a scramble – guys vs. gals.

It was decided they would get two strokes per side.

Our view down the dogleg left on number one fairway after the ladies turned the corner.

We tied the front nine with them – 40 to 42 – and while the front nine was longer – the back nine was shorter and harder.

The ladies up ahead for their approach shot to the green.

The second nine we shot a 42 – and they did not do as well – we ended up beating them.

But – the weather was great – the course lush and green – the greens were fantastic.

Golfing with best friends on New Years Day just 6 miles from our home at Meadowlands.

We moved South – 6 to 8 hours away – just enough for warmer winters – golfing year-round –

Family can visit only a day’s ride away.

And our best friends are near here.

Jimmy and Buck – two of my oldest friends.

PAPA’S WORLD – GOLFING NEW YEARS DAY – MEADOWLANDS – N.C.

Papa’s World – A gathering of friends – golf challenge – Gals vs – guys – rules laid out!

/ Tom / Leave a comment
Gray clouds – bag drop off – LOCKWOOD FOLLY GOLF COURSE!

Elaine and Steve – Cindy and Buck and Sherry and I – all met here at the golf course!

It would be a friends scramble – Gals vs. Guys – and of course the rules have to be laid out!

It is always interesting to say the least – NO STROKES I REPEAT!

They are just so good that it is tough to just tie them!

But Cindy is always after more strokes! LOL

RULES OF PLAY:

  1. They play the ladies tee box – anywhere from 30 to 110 yards advantage!
  2. ( they all hit it 150 to 175 yards! Add on the advantage and you can see how far we have to hit)
  3. Steve and I hit from the seniors – he is I think 63 or 64 – I am 72.
  4. They really contested that because he can hit it long – but it also goes way left or right!
  5. We would have to use one drive front nine and back nine from each of us!
  6. That nulifies his long drives – and we pretty much were even in what drive we took.
  7. Par threes took out any long drive he might of had for four holes.
  8. Buck – who has a handicap – hits from the lady tees!
  9. The Gals will get two extra putts on the front nine and the back nine! ( keep this in mind)
We expected them to be tough to beat – and we were right!

After much back and forth with them trying to get more than what was fair – we were ready to start!

It was going to be a great day – the GALS vs. The GUYS at LOCKWOOD FOLLY GOLF COURSE!

Situated between Oak Island and Holden beach N.C. – on the marsh land – a beautiful course!
