On Thursday we completed all of the courses listed on the Myrtle Beach Golf Clubs' Premier Southern Courses.
We finished off the list with a game at the Tradition Golf Club in Pawleys Island, S.C.. It is usually a bit of a hidden gem - if there is such a thing in the heavily trafficked Grand Strand golf mecca.
That is because its a tough course (Premier = their list of the most technically difficult) with lots of bunkers, hills, water, and other obstacles.
Bruce likes playing the holes with lots of undulating greens and I look forward to the water hazards. Fortunately for us, this course has plenty of both.
Unfortunately for us, the day we were there, the course was unusually crowded. We frequently found ourselves waiting for the two groups ahead of us to tee off. By the time we made it to the tee the foursome of young bucks behind us would be whooping it up while they waited for us to take our turn. We all arrived at the same time at hole 7 ... The hole with with no fairway--- just a tee off area a long stretch of water, and a very narrow hilly green to land it on. Miss the green and you land in a bunker or it rolls in the water. The good news is that we have several holes like that at Pawleys, so it was a piece of cake for Bruce and I. We both made it over the water and onto the green with no problem. The loudmouths started teeing off before we'd even putted. Three of the four drove it in the water, and the fourths rolled back down the hill into the drink. They were a lot more respectful for the remainder of the game.
