Au Sable Valley GC - #6 on the left, #7 (a dogleg right) on the right ~ Au Sable Forks, NY • click to embiggenYesterday afternoon I went out for a round of golf - I'm tuning up for a tournament on Friday. It was a grand and glorious Summer day, as a matter of fact, the first day of Summer.
I've been playing golf albeit - because of the heart thing - golf from a golf cart. Other those courses that require the use of a golf cart, I have never used a golf cart. That's for 2 reasons ... 1) you're suppose to walk when playing golf - that is unless you're a lazy fatass or want to become one, and, 2) I might as well add 4-5 strokes to my card when playing from a golf cart because I just can't seem to get in the "rhythm" of my game when using a cart.
Yesterday, even though the ASVGC requires a walk of billy goat climbing and walking, I decided to give walking a go. And, without too much trouble, go I did. True to cart-less form, I played 9 holes - it's a classic, circa 1920, Adirondack 9 hole course - at 1 over par.
Other than the fact that this course is about 1 block from my house, one other nice feature about the ASVGC is that a 9-hole round only sets you back $11.00US. That's about the same cost as a large bucket of balls at a typical driving range.

Truth in Photography?
are you telling me that you didn't doctor that green in Photoshop? They don't have sprinklers there and I've never seen the greens that nice.
Truth in Photography - I'm telling you that I didn't doctor that green in Photoshop - I was very surprised that the greens are really nice and the fairways are very green, not lush, but green nevertheless.
that said, if we have a dry Summer, who knows how it will be in another month.
come out this weekend and bring your clubs ....
Remember the shoulder strap? Bag on wheels?? Might as well use the golf cart!
