If someone can correctly identify this golf course, I will finish this weblog entry:
JD gets the brownie point today. The answer is Frontier Golf Course. The rhubarb patch is a dead give away.
And now, the rest of the story...
I have decided that if I am going to resume my golf hobby, I need to practice a little more. I also need to get out of the house more for my own sanity.
So, every Thursday after work, I will don my knickers, my polo shirt, and my argyle socks and head out to the links for a round of golf. Oh wait, I'm going to Frontier. OK, I will don my jean shorts, my tank top, and my tube socks and head out to tear up the turf.
Tomorrow will be my third outing, and I hope to shoot at least as good as I did last week (which was 5 shots better than the week before). I just play 9 holes each round, but I do hit a couple extra provisional balls at each hole (but only record the first ball for my score). If I have to wait for the group in front of me once I have finished a hole, then I practice my chipping.
Frontier is a nice little course for being in somebody's back yard. The small size of the course makes for some exciting play at times, but at least there are plenty of trees to take cover under. I don't much care for the artificial tee boxes or the shag carpet greens, but they do serve their purpose. I figure $6.50 for an hour or so of good, clean fun is pretty cheap these days.
If any of my regular readers (all three of you) ever have a free Thursday afternoon, please feel free to join me!
FORRRRRRE!

Frontier?
Posted by: J.D. at July 14, 2004 12:29 PMWhen I was in Jr. High and starting to golf, my friend Chris and I would ride our bikes to Frontier and rent clubs - since we couldn't carry ours on our bikes. It was a fun course and great for beginners. I loved getting a grape Shasta out of the cooler afterward to prepare for the ride home. Those tee boxes with the green turf haven't always been there. I don't like them either. I do like their little practice putting green, though.
Posted by: Lynn at July 16, 2004 12:23 PMDang! I knew that was Frontier, but it's been so busy at work this week, I've only been able to harrass J.D. at his blog!
I would love to go golfing, but I have Ryan on Thursdays. I could, however, possiblly do a Wednesday.
That's been around since we were in Jr. High? Who knew?

Quit golfing and take/post more pictures of your son! ;)
Posted by: Denise at July 20, 2004 12:55 PMThat is actually a very good idea, Denise. I don't have any new pictures with me, but I do have more that JD was supposed to have put up about 7 months ago.
