Papa’sWorld – Golfing with friends!

A good day at golf – friends – Priceless!

We moved here from NVA – but before that –

We lived in WNY and our neighbors were Cindy and Buck.

Then, they moved to Wilmington, N.C. for jobs.

and eventually to Leland, N.C., and Magnolia Greens!

This is a 27-hole golf course and my personal view –

One of the best courses we have played in N.C.

We try to get together once or twice a month to play.

Usually – we host dinner or they do or we just go out!

Every four or five months we get together with our other best friends –

And we play Gal vs. Guys – and a fourth couple joins us.

A lot of kidding around – bantering back and forth-

How many strokes are we giving them?

Well – we give them three strokes a side –

and sometimes they beat us by a couple strokes –

or we beat them by one stroke or a tie!

We live in the middle of about 30 golf courses and our friends –

Jim and Dorothy live on a golf course in Edenton, N.C.

About 3 1/2 hours away.

We visit each other every four months or so.

We have been friends ever since Sherry and I were married on 6-25-1982.
I played softball with Jimmy before that.

Other times Sherry and I go out by ourselves playing nine holes.

So many courses here and we get the “LOCALS RATE”!

We have 12 good months of golfing weather –

Winter it warms up by 11:00 am. and we can go.

On other days we watch for warmer weather and book tee times.

The Butterfly effect for me is –

Once during the round –

hitting that perfect shot and then it is “I WANT TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN”!

Until that next time –

Papa’s World – Golfing at Thistle – Calabash N.C.

We have now golfed our second course since we moved to S.C.

THISTLE A SCOTTISH THEMED COURSE WITH LOTS OF WATER

We had a chance to grab tee times at this sought after course.

The whole theme is of Scotland

with the club house and grounds

and the road onto and into the course.

This part of N.C. close to the ocean is rather flat

but they molded this course into bunkers

with six tee boxes on each hole!

I was impressed at just how much they changed the landscape.

Plus – there is a lot of water hazards here!

And something you do not see in Scotland – GATORS!

This big one was sunning itself on the back side

of a raised green – and from the fairway

you could not see it!

Good thing no had hit long

because as I walked back to line up my putt

there it was!

Sherry and Cindy also saw another one when then went to find a ball

next to a water hazard

and carefully got out of there!

It was a great course – and because of the tees we played

we avoided a lot of water where they were!

A look at one of the many many water hazards!
Gator laying on the bank sunning itself
Sherry hitting from the fairway
Cindy hitting from fairway – they both are never in trouble always down the middle
Climbing the bank to the elevated green
Getting ready to tee off
And the dawn breaking of the day we went golfing from our Lanai

We always have fun golfing with Cindy and Buck

now that we are down here – they live about 40 minutes away

so we make tee times to play

this being the fourth time we have played together

since we came down late September and stayed with them for 5 days!
