We teed off at noon yesterday and there was a pretty good crowd, both before us and after us. It was a beautiful day for golf! The course was a bit wet in places, but I was happy to be playing. I intend on going out tomorrow, around noon, after it warms up a bit.
On a side note, "The League", a group of gentlemen that tee off every Sunday at 9:00, was out. Yes, the group the seems to think jeans, sleeveless t-shirts, sandals, and flip flops are en vogue. As we stood on the first tee box, they were coming down 9. Yes, three hours for nine holes. They also smoke marijuana and drink moonshine, along with Lynryd Skynyrd blaring out of a cart. No, this is not a typo. I hesitate to guess the average IQ of this group. In the day of failing golf courses, the steady income is hard to turn down.

A current trend that I cannot stand on golf courses is music blaring from a golf cart. I gave a group a hard time a years back and all I got in return was the potential for escalation with some dangerous weapons within reach so I wimped out and backed down. Never will play a course again that looks the other way when it comes to music from a cart.
Gives plenty of time to decide how to drop that white pill right on the pin!Finally got in my first nine holes of the year today. Sunny Hill in Brimfield. You call ahead and pay and set your time. They print out your receipt and leave it on a board outside of the clubhouse. You retrieve it, show it to the starter and you are on your way. Played as a single and had my part of the course largely to myself. First time I had walked in a while. Forgot how much I enjoy the stroll.

Agree. When dad and I played regularly, we would walk (with our pull carts) in the spring and fall. Summer heat and humidity - not so much.I really do think it is how the game is meant to be played. I realize it isn't possible for some but more people ought to do it. I'd walk more in my league if anyone else did.

I refuse to take a cart for 9 holes and in fact hump my own bag too, I also try to do this for 18 when possible except many newer courses have too much spacing between holes so you almost need to take a cart. I guess it is the former caddy in me that allows my 56 year old bones to do this and still score well.
I also prefer to walk, but that is easy with the courses around Avon. I'll grab a cart on hilly courses, or courses where you have to walk a 5k to get between some holes. Around Avon, Red Tail has some walks, but Avon Oaks, Lakewood, Sweetbriar, Bob O' Link, Hilliard Lakes are all quite walkable.
I'm generally just not a fan of courses completely intertwined with homes (those are the ones with long walks many times). I really do not want to plunk a house, and I don't have the game to prevent that sometimes.
It seems like some developers design the housing allotment then figure out how to run a golf course through it, rather than the other way around. Roses Run in Stow is a perfect example.
I am hoping that the temps reach the forecasted mid 50's tomorrow. I have a noon tee time.
