Crimson Red Sports

Anybody ever play the course. I am getting a chance to play it on Wednesday. What is it like. I have never been there.

Never played it, but from the looks of this, I think I'd like to.

From the looks of things, you might better bring some floating golf balls with you. :)

 :lol: Indeed!

I can't wait to play it. Looks like fun.

Never been on the golf course.  The Docks restaurant is as nice as you are going to find in that area.

Give us a full report. Looks like a good place to hold the first annual CRS golf tournament.  :D

Full report with game notes on Wednesday night!

Attaboy! Looking forward to your report.

I've never played golf there but NALT and I had a fun day fishing in that area. :clap:

I have never played golf there either.  I would much rather fish than golf.

When you go there watch your step.  There are a lot of geese and you know what they leave behind don't you?  Wouldn't want to step in Johnny Manziel there...

Anytime you like Jamos...anytime you like!  ;)

 :lol:

course review:

But I'd rather be fishing too.

Have played this course a lot. Close to home. Fun course, great views. Lots of water. Only a couple of the holes really have water "in play" but that doesn't always stop me from donating a ball or two. For the most part, it is really just a standard length/difficulty course. Just watch out for goose crap and have fun!

I like playing Goose Pond. It is a fun course. The lake only comes into play on about three holes but the water provides a beautiful background. There are a few ditches and ponds that also have water that will eat up a bad shot. The mountains across the lake are also nice. It is not long and you can shoot a good score if you stay in the fairway. I have not played there lately but they used to keep it well maintained. I think you will like it.

Helpful hint: Number 2 is par 5 with an uphill tee shot that is straight forward. Your second shot will go over the top of the hill will the green straight downhill from there. Your second shot will be blind. There is a bank to the left. You need to favor that side. If you hit the middle of the fairway everything will go right and will run out of the fairway into trouble. I have seen people hit what looked like perfect shots and end up in trouble. A ride to the top of the hill will help, in fact you need to do that anyway since you can not see the group in front of you clear the fairway.

Also highly suggest not hitting driver on 4. Get out a rescue and knock it about 200 yards. Driver will go through the trees and be gone.

I love that hole. I can cut a driver around the corner and have an 8 iron or less in from there. But you are right, a straight shot will run through the fairway into big trouble. If you hit a draw you can get another ball out of your bag.

In my dreams lol. I have a bad slice, so let's just say the concept of left to right ball movement is non existent for me.

Lefty?

I got all twisted up trying to talk golf while working. I meant I couldn't get any right to left movement. Obviously that bodes well on that hole, but not others.

I try not to let work get in the way of my golf.  :lol2:

Number 4 is a dogleg to the right. A right hand golfer does not want to pull, draw or hook a ball on this hole. If you do it is gone. The smart move is a 200 yd shot off the tee which leaves you short of the trouble but is leaves a difficult long iron to the green. A fade for a RH golfer works well here as long as you make it around the corner. It is a hard hole.

yeah, I noticed that too.   :lol:


With practice, you can purposely slice or hook; it is mostly a question of where you put your feet.  (Open stance slice, closed stance hook.)  A slight hook will give you a longer drive, because the spin on the ball makes it roll farther, but of course it depends on the hole.

Thanks for the info it came in handy. The course was in perfect shape. A lot of beautiful scenery.  Shot an 81 and left plenty of shots on the course. I got stupid a couple of time. #4 was hard but I hit a hybrid to perfect yardage and made one of 3 birdies out there.  My buddies and I had a great time.the fdried Elvis sandwich was pretty good. It tied me over at the turn. By the way the par 5s are kind of long. None were reachable, some back into the breeze. I will definitely go back. By the way it was a good day played 18 holes with one ball. It was a little scuffed but was in good shape.

Good job, Bama87!!! Have an e-cred.  #+

Thanks it was really fun.
