The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

With the time change this weekend, yesterday was my final Friday twilight outing of the season at the excellent Byrne course in West Orange, NJ.

It’s easy to see where the “Orange” came from in the place’s name.
Looks nice. Let’s Go Orange!

Let’s Go Orange!

I've lived in South Orange for 19 years and the (tenuous) Syracuse connection never occurred to me.

Yesterday at Hendricks Field in Belleville NJ, home to Junior Soprano. Gorgeous foliage, I joined the first foursome at 7:45 and was done in three hours. The course is in beautiful shape other than the deer hoof prints all over the greens (as you're aware, it's rutting season). Bucks were chasing does through many of the fairways -- we need @Campgottagopee and his rifle down here!

Nice.
Played 3 days in a row last week, scored worse each time but won the last two matches. Go figure.
Twas great golfing weather but got windier as the week went on.
The home course is as dry as it’s been all year and they just recently punched the greens.
And the Dog ate my homework.

That was my 25th round of the season. I wish I could put up that many ski days; however, it's apples and bowling balls. My local golf courses are 10-20 minutes away; ski areas are considerably further away and more expensive.

Course is closed, pins are still in, so the dogs can come play now too.

Played Hartford Greens (formerly Pole Valley) Saturday. Shorts and short sleeves in November on the golf course in upstate N.Y.! What a day.

Scotty Scheffler got to pick the menu for the winner's dinner before the tournament @ Augusta National.
I could eat it.
