I am going up north for golf and fishing.

Panacea, Fl?

I was in Bradenton this time. Same guys, different venue.
They wanted to go offshore but the weather was not cooperative so we
just chased fish around by hitting golf balls into the lakes at
Manatee golf course. ;-)

Yesterday I got to the course before it officially opened. There's no
driving range, so I'll hit a
few trash balls into the lake between numbers 10 and 11. I'd hit a
couple into the lake and my next
shot went well out into the fairway on number 10. In other words, I
totally missed a good sized golf
course lake! And, the marshall had come out of the clubhouse just as I
took that swing. He though I
was starting on the back nine before the course opened. So I had to
explain it was just a ****ty
practice shot.

I wish I could get such a shot every time I play number 10. About half
the time the damn ball goes
into the lake!

I cleared every water hazard I had to go over. My problem was the ones
on the right ... out of play. ;-)
I have a nagging slice that just comes and goes. I got a nice 5 wood
(titanium) that was abandoned in the cart barn at my wife's place
before they tore it down. It has become my go to club for that 150-160
yard shot off the grass. I am hitting that one well. It does beg the
question that I might play better if I threw away my mismatched bag of
80 year old clubs or just sell them as antiques. I have a 3 iron from
Bobby Jones. a Ky Laffoon 9 iron.

I'm a veteran of Lou Galby's Chip & Putt, a par 3 per hole course in
Milford, CT, where I spent my summers. Galby was a fairly famous
Connecticut pro. He had a driving range on his site, too. My guess is
that his old property is now...retch...condominiums.

Was that where you shot your 72 the first time out and got bored with the
game (as you stated about
7-8 years ago)?

Funny about that. First game I shot was at Harding Park In SF was an 86.
Went downhill from there.
