A change is in the air...

There is some evidence of Fall in the air these days. Some of the trees have a bit of color, and football is on TV and my Cincinnatti Reds are in a tailspin. Once the NFL season starts the golf courses clear out a bit as the Sunday afternoon arm-chair quarterbacks and deer hunters move on to other things. I love Fall golf...cooler temps, smaller crowds, softer course conditions and brilliant foliage to look at.

Summer of golf

yeah baby!!!

I have spent the summer playing golf, hosting weddings, playing golf, and travelling to play golf. I have played the following courses outside of NY this summer, in this order:

Cinnamon Hill - Jamaica - 79 (right on the ocean, two putt birdie on 18)
White Witch - Jamaica - 83 and 82 (fabulous course at the Ritz Carlton, had too many "others")
Legend Trail - Scottsdale, AZ - 73 (not in great shape, a nice course)
TPC Desert course - Scottsdale - 76 (the best conditions we played on all summer)
TPC Stadium course - Scottsdale - 82 (too easy for the FBR Open and tour players)
We Ko Pa - Fort McDowell, AZ - 76 (fabulous layout, great views, FBR Open should be here)

These scores and some pretty good ones at home have helped get my handicap down to its lowest ever --- 4.2
