Lastly, a couple pics from Sandpiper Golf Club in Goleta, CA. My first time ever playing golf right along the Pacific Ocean. The back nine was ridiculous.

The last great day out of golf I had before the UK went into a near year long lockdown. 

 

Two days before the initial lockdown I got out and played 36 holes at Woburn on the Marquess and Dukes courses.

Lol. Nothing like teeing off on a par 4 and having an Indycar whizzing past at 220 mph. If you like auto racing, it's a double win.

OK, just try finding a flat lie in the fairway.

Was gonna go with the usual suspects of some of the beautiful courses I've played here in Southern California or Pebble Beach or St. Andrews or Carnoustie but decided to take it old school.

 

 

Spring of 1999 at Bay Tree in Myrtle Beach, SC. This was the second-to-last round I ever played with my dad (and my older brother there on the left - a very bad golfist but a great baseball player in his day). This is when my game was at its peak - despite the bleached cornrows and generally thuggish look - and proceeded to shoot 73 and whoop up on the old man one last time. 

 

... because he beat me the last round we ever played together, a couple weeks later at a course called Woodlake in Vass, NC. Lotta water on that course and found it a bit too much that day - didn't help he was roasting me pretty good the whole round. "You gonna get beat by and old man, boy?!" 

 

So yeah, despite all the fun places I've been ever since; them days were definitely my favorite.

@Argonne69 Every time you post I add another course to my bucket list of places to play stateside. I don't know if I should hug you or kick you. 😅

Our local Korn Ferry Tour stop has an amateur tournament the weekend before the pros show up.  These pics are from a few years back when we had a ton of rain and they decided to let the rough grow out.  This was my drive off #1, about 3 yards left of the fairway.  Remember this is a week before the pro tournament!  I think the Korn Ferry Tournament winner was 20 under.

Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale a few weeks before the 2018 Waste Management.

Saturday at the 2019 Waste Management with the leader Tony Finau teeing off on the 18th.

These are hole 14 at The Ocean Course at Hokuala on Kauai HI. Par 3, we played the Black Tees first which was a bit over 200 yds and then hit another from the normal tees. I was actually closer from the Blacks. My friend hit his to about 10 feet and proceeded to three putt as the hole was right near the edge of a two tiered green. When you finish the cart guys bring you a frozen towel soaked with Eucalyptus and mint. So refreshing after a hot day.

@Argonne69 you're killing me friend. Where is this as it looks straight of the English countryside. 

[Argonne69]

It's near the Rock River in north central Illinois. The bottom pic is near the Illinois River a few miles south of there. Illinois is the 2nd flattest state in the U.S. next to Florida, but the river valleys can have some nice elevation change.

I post a lot of pics in the 'Share Your Personal.." thread in the travel subforum. The photos here are some of my favorites.

A wee bit of a poke.

Nice replica of Sawgrass' 17th.

The course didn't quite hold up to the hype when the US Open was held there, but Erin Hills is a heck of a good time.

Nothing like queuing up in the pre-dawn hours to get a tee time.
