18 Holes Modified Alternate Shot; Score = 83
The Cape Cod setting was exciting given my family used to spend a lot of time in the Mashpee area. A two-day experience gave us a chance to enjoy some old favorites, including Bobby Byrne's pub where I had excellent nachos and a good baked salmon. We played a practice round with great, longtime friends Mike and Chuck Murph. I made a very memorable eagle on the 18th hole with a blind 5-iron approach to the peninsula green. On tournament day, my Dad and I didn't hit the stride/momentum you want for alternate shot. The score was below expectations. Willowbend is a tricky golf course, with some challenging greens, intimidating tee shots, and well placed hazards. The 16th tee shot has a crazy blind lay up area (in front of marsh), nearly blind 'go for it' over the marsh fairway, and a blind green. Never seen anything like it. Golf course was in great condition and weather was sunny and high 70s. |

Can't beat another chance to compete with my Dad, the athlete I grew up admiring most.
To Father-Sons,
