I am still about a 16 handicap, but every once in awhile even a blind squirrel finds an acorn. I actually shot under par once on one of those rinky-dink 9 hole courses (shot a 34 on a 35), but I don't have a clue how it happened, other than some unusually lucky consistency in ball striking and few chip-ins. I almost always play the same really nice public course (
an old Donald Ross design from the 1920s) that is only about 2 miles from my house, but shy away from courses with copious amounts of waters and traps, so my ego isn't too brutally injured. Here's a really cool story about a local legend that plays at that course all the time who recently qualified for the
Senior British Open.
And by "time constraints" you really mean "my fishing addiction", right?
If I ever do come to Savannah I will hit you up for some tips before I come.
