I played a quick 9 at Fremont Golf today. It's a short course, all par 3's and 4's. Mostly par threes. I did pretty well. It's a very wet course. Almost every hole has water to the left or right. I lost a bunch of balls, all of the tee. I had a great hole on number seven.
I hit a four iron right to the edge of the green over a small lake, from there I chipped it to within two feet and knocked it in. I didn't get a score card and the holes had no markings, so I didn't know if it was a par or birdie. When I got back to the clubhouse and asked, the young buck who plays a killer game said it played both ways but was a 3 today, one of the older guys gave me a wink and said it was a 4. We had a good laugh.
In some ways it's nice to play alone. You can play multiple shots, and you can either take your time or rush. I wanted to get home so I zipped along and I passed two groups on my way around.
Some of the holes were just too short. When you have to try and play partial swings of a pitching wedge from the long tees the holes are just too short. The ninth holes was nice though. I used a driver off the tee then overshot the green just barely with a 3/4 swing on a pitching wedge.
