I tell ya some facts.
first off i still suck at golf ( 18 handi). I only really play for fun. But i mostly play at other courses not my inlaws course. Most of the private courses in my area are all friends of ours so I like to get away and enjoy there courses as well. I do relish everyday that i have my own "private" course, but it has its downsides. Anyone and everyone who golfs, always calls me and wants to come out for free. which is fine once or twice. but my inlaws did not work there asses off just to get there son-inlaws friends free golf. I gets tons of email with the annoying small talk ending with are you free for golf??? and when i have people over to golf its like i am "hosting" a party, kinda like when you have company over. know what i mean.
Sometimes i fee like the kid in the neighbourhood with the only pool.
I like to get out to the other local courses and enjoy time away from the eyes of the family. I am very lucky that my father inlaw is friends with just about every private owner in our area and I am very lucky to get free memberships to these clubs, 6 in total. My favorite time is the early spring and the late fall when the course is closed and its just me and dog. I hit 30 balls on first par 3 today, just messing about. never could i do that during the year except if it was very early (before greens are cut) or late in the day. should be nice out again with weekend i hope! here are some pics from my last round on sunday.
