Its a scramble at Army Navy (Arlington course). 925 for a team, but its for a good cause. Its on Oct 5th (which is a Monday). Not sure if I can make it, but looks like a good opportunity to play a good course.
I’m guessing they are hurting for entries a bit if they’re advertising in ArlNow, so hoping that means it doesn’t fill quickly, but definitely intrigued. Monday is tough, but strongly considering trying to play since I’ve never had the chance to play ANCC.
@Sixcat this is a long shot I’m sure, but any chance you have any updated info on Gordon Trent golf course? My company put a team in a capts choice for a fundraiser for the local FD, and I’m the guy who sold them the truck so I need to be there. Praying its not as bad as it appears but free golf is free golf.
hell yeah man! thanks. I’ll be missing the opening morning of bow season, but if I have to work I guess this is best option. Looked like on the card, more than a few shots to bomb at greens too.
Oh yeah, it’s a very short course. I would even venture to say, with doglegs, some of those holes are shorter than the scorecard indicates. Two real negatives are OB on both sides of #1 and some greens that are quite a ways from the next tee. But like I said, it’s a fun little course if you don’t have inflated expectations.
Hey @country35 I grew up a few miles away from there (where I learned to play). It is a fun course, small greens and short. A typical country course. A few drivable par 4’s. Been a few years since I played but if the greens are rolling you will have a great time.
Whelp, just got back from my first trip to Royal New Kent. Oh man, what a treat. First of all, it’s in incredible shape. Didn’t see any burned out areas and only a few minor areas that took on a lot of rain. Next, I played a single. Played a few balls on each hole and took some time to take it all in. Not many folks out there but did get stuck behind a FIVE SOME with FIVE CARTS at 15 which slowed down the pace a lot. Overall, loved it. Can’t wait to go back.
Hampton Roads golfers, playing Bid-A-Wee tomorrow for the first time. Anything I need to know before I get out there? Anyone played it recently and can help a brother out with a conditions scouting report?
