Knock one item off the to-do list. I finally joined my local golf course. This is my first membership ever and it certainly feels weird, probably because I worked at a course for several years in college and it’s hard getting used to being on the member side of things. It’s a great course in Woodstown, NJ and it’s called Town & Country Golf Links.
I’ve played it several times over the years since it opened in 1999 (or thereabouts). I love the layout and the design style. It’s wide open, and I’m really drawn to that. The greens are fairly large, well-maintained, and have tons of undulation and character. That’s going to make me have to play more precise shots into the greens or risk tougher, longer putts than I’m used to.
Onward!

Have you ever attended a professional golf tournament? It’s not one of the items on your “to do” list. As you cross things off have you considered adding anything new to the “to do” list. Good luck and we are rooting for you to reach all your goals.
Regarding the professional tournament, I attended the Buick Classic at West Chester Country Club in Rye, NY, in 2002 or so. It was a really interesting experience. At that time, I wasn’t paying attention to the players from the point of view of someone who wants to be a pro, I was there as a fan (I was stood 15 feet from Tiger Woods!). But I did pay close enough attention to know that pros approach the game a little differently than the rest of us (well a lot differently in many way). My plan is to try and get to another tournament in the near future and maybe pick one pro to watch and see how he manages an entire round. I’d also like to attend some events on the smaller tours to get a getter idea of golf at that level too.
