Pine Valley
I had the opportunity to play a round of golf at the best track in the country -- Pine Valley.
One of my partners is a member there and he was gracious enough to invite me and Allen Greenberg to his club. We drove up through torrential rains (see yesterday's entry for more on that). Traffic was backed up through all of Delaware. We finally made it to the turn off and drove down an isolated street and through an unmarked gate and back into another era.
We walked into the main lodge and Mr. Scott was waiting for us there with drinks at the ready. He showed us to our rooms and then we enjoyed a surprisingly good dinner. The next morning it was another feast for breakfast and then time to start our round. As a high handicapper, I am not really allowed to play at Pine Valley. They prefer that no one with a handicap over 15 venture onto their course. I am nothing if not confident so we went to the range to warm up and then met our caddies at the first tee. My caddie was an incredibly nice fellow even when he lifted my bag and realized it was completely water soaked from yesterday's CSS tournament at Raspberry Falls.
