Papa’s World – Golfing THE PEARL!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

The Pearl has 27 holes – and not a single house on any of them!

Situated just minutes from our home –

It is nestled among Sea Trails – three 18-hole courses – Thistle – 27 holes and Sandpiper – 27 holes!

Here from one of the fairways is the view of the back of the clubhouse!

Gator on the bank of one of the ponds!

Down here in N.C. close to the S.C. border – you have to be on the lookout for Gators and snakes!

Sherry teeing off on a par three – each nine holes had three par three’s and three par five’s!

On the cart path to the tee and fairway – water on the right – course was in great shape!

Another par three – Cindy is about to tee off!

Cindy watches Papa about to putt and sees the line while Sherry takes the picture!

Sherry watches Cindy after she already hit her tee shot!

Cindy in form while teeing off – we had a great time – lots of water – sand and blue skies!

PAPA’S WORLD – GOLFING THE PEARL WITH CINDY AND BUCK!!! FRIENDS FOR YEARS AND YEARS!

Papa’s World – GOLF – always a trial and error!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Getting older has its little perks – like moving up a tee box on the course!

I have been attempting to play golf since I was around twelve years old – when my dad joined a club with a family membership!

My younger brother and I would just go out and play while my dad played with his friends.

My younger brother became a scratch golfer while I seemed to go the other way.

My older brother was also around par golf or a little over.

The genes seemed to be spread out between them – me – I am the one who hits a good shot at the end and wants to come back for more!

But that is why I love to play – SOMETIMES I do hit it straight and can putt!

For me, it is out in the open – fairways and greens – sand traps and water hazards!

I seem to find them all plus trees and bushes.

Whatever the club is – I seem to find everything except the MIRACLE!

But when I do – it brings me back again and again!

PAPA’S WORLD – GOLF – ALWAYS A TRIAL AND ERROR!!!!!

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!

Oak Island clubhouse – drinks – laughs and score cards!

PAPA’S WORLD

Papa’s World – Golfing with friends New Years Day at Meadowlands golf course – N.C.

/ Tom / Leave a comment
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 – little things here and there!

We now have had “THREE SLEEPS” in our new digs!

And are loving everything we have been doing lately!

Walking with Cindy at the break of dawn

in Magnolia Greens – Leland NC.

I have always loved it here – and we have visited for the past 20 years.

Sunset over the golf course and pond at Buck and Cindy’s house.

And the very second day evening – we saw “ALLIE”!

Whom for the past five or so years we have seen numerous years!

It is a six foot or more Alligator that seems to live in these ponds!

Buck has seen him twice grab a rabbit and a goose!

So – we are aware – and stay back from the edge!

We walk – play golf – laugh – talk

as we have been friends for 34 years or more

they were our neighbors back in WNY before they moved to NC.

Then we moved to NVA and we visited back and forth.

Now – we are looking from Wilmington NC to the border of SC.

They are huge Buffalo Bills fans as we once were!

Now – since we sold our house

are beginning to follow them once again!

We enjoy outings – much the same as they do!

Beach is our calling!

Laughing – talking – playing cards –

and the last few times we have been together

WATCHING SCHITT$ CREEK!

We have watched it all one time and started watching it again.

We do celebrate special occasions

like birthdays

and special get togethers

Golfing!

Yes – Cindy brings shots of Rum Chata!

Whenever we birdie or sometimes for a par!

We do like to have fun – laughs and good times.

Playing golf games – GUYS VS GALS!

They are tough – always down the middle

always putting for at least a par or birdie.

Now – I never know WHERE my ball will land! LOL

So – it makes for fun times!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
