OT- Deepster’s Favorite Golf Course

[HuskylnSC]

You should go to a real South Carolina course and play the Ocean Course in Kiawah.

Kiawah is fabulous. but actually I prefer a foothills course with some gorgeous mountain views. I leave the beach stuff to my wife.

I’m sure there are CT courses that will hold up to western SC. Last time I played there was about 30 years ago. Company had multiple plants in that area, and got out once or twice after work. Most of those courses hadn’t even been built. Most of this thread has been about 2 old Hartford muni courses. I would certainly hope your courses are better.

Actually, I'm just trolling you guys. I would love for some of you to take me to those courses next time I'm back in CT. I'm sure it would be a blast.

Played Meadowbrook in Richmond RI yesterday again it’s in tremendous shape. Great layout and fair to generous fairways but the approaches and putting can stick it you especially if they put the pins in slick spots (like yesterday). It’s my 2nd time there and it’s moving up in the favorite tracks in New England. Not sure about the $77 price tag but it’s a high end course no doubt.

I used to play Meadowbrook when I was learning the game before the upgrade. You put your cash in an envelope with your license plate # and stuck it in this huge safe with a slot on top. 3.50 for 9 4.50 for 18. The place was a wreck but the layout was really good.

That's hilarious wrote this as I had a meeting today with a new rep for one of my larger vendors, he grew up in Richmond and told me that exact story this morning about the safe. lol, I remember driving by that not too ,many years ago when we'd play Beaver River on occasion and seeing that course while wondering where the sheep were. Dramatic change since then, one of the nicer tracks you can play in Southern NE now.

Sure is a no brainer if you golf more than a couple of times a year. I have used it in other New England states too.

Funny, we cancelled around at Meadowbrook today due to weather. 3 of us from CT meet a friend from near Boston a few times a year at Meadowbrook or Beaver River, occasionally Connecticut National. Like them all.

One Person Shot, Wounded In Hartford's Keney Park

The Greenfield Street area of Keney Park is near the old Weaver High School and miles away from the golf course.

I was going to post but it figures you beat me to the punch. It is what it is, no spinning it. True, on the other side of the park, but really one can’t say with much confidence it couldn’t be on the other side. Granted the golf course has limited access but a stray bullet can travel. On the other hand, it wouldn’t deter me from playing there.
