I'D FORGOTTEN WHAT A DAY OFF WAS
The golf was outstanding today. My first time at King and the Bear, and it is exquisite, even in winter. Designed by Arnie and Jack, of course. The companion course at World Golf Village is the Slammer and the Squire, designed by, uh, Snead and Sarazen. This town sucks at some things, but recreation is not one of them. Jax has the largest urban park system in the country. 325 sites, 6,000 acres. Then the golf. Is it Myrtle Beach? No. We don't have that many courses. But Myrtle Beach doesn't have a TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course, either.
I learned when I moved to Memphis for three years that a move can be the best thing in your life, or the worst. YOU make that new home what it is. This will be my home until I die, I believe, I like it that much.
P.S. How did I play? Poorly. But I've only played like 5 times in the last two years, so breaking 100 on a new course kept me happy.
