Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was a good time to go as pace of play was better than usual. Finished in under 4 hours. Given the time of year the course was in good condition.

Great course bad player

The course was great I had tons of fun. If I was better and could focus up more on my shots I think I’d have a better time but that’s personal. :)
