Golfing at any time brings most golfers great happiness. It is an opportunity to walk and relish in the beauty of nature. This is true for me not matter when or where I am golfing. Well, okay this was a bit of an overstatement. I do have a favorite time to golf. And I wondered if I was crazy to get out of bed at the crack of dawn to be the first player on the course!

This quick post is for all those who wondering how to pay for their golf in 2017. Traditionally, I am a member at one course and play periodically at different courses for tournaments or fun rounds. But, this method of payment does not work for everyone.
Golf can be expensive and most discerning golfers try to stretch their dollar to maximize their play throughout the year. It is difficult sometimes, but for the most part, it takes a bit of research and ingenuity.
It Never Rains on the Golf Course!
Just a bit wet at Osprey Links Golf Course!
Last Friday, I was grateful to have my nephew Darwin drop into town for a quick 18 holes. We had planned this outing for a while, but never seemed to find the right time. Finally, we made the plan and he drove up early in the morning because we had a 7:30 am tee off. The only thing we did not count on was the rain.

A Special Friend at Roundel Glen Golf Course
This little friend watched me hit the ball close to the pin on number 11 from 150 yards. He had a couple of friends with him and I just had to share their majestic beauty.
I am a grateful golfer!
Salt Creek Golf Links
Today I am playing Salt Creek Golf Links. Located near the small town of Warkworth, it is a course I have not heard of until recently. It is one of the many courses in my area and a friend has invited me to hit the links with him. I am not sure what to expect from Salt Creek, but it looks like one of those fun tracks that might just surprise us.
One of the reasons for playing Salt Creek is to enjoy different courses in our area. It is important to support these smaller tracks so that golf will continue to thrive. I am going into today’s game with an open mind and positive expectations of a fun round. If nothing else, the company will be great and laughs will be had by all!
