Played Stonebridge Golf Club located north of Rome, GA yesterday with some friends from work on a special tee time deal. Had always wanted to play there, but yesterday was the first time. Nice place! They are on their first full summer after switching their bentgrass greens to Championship Bermuda. I must say these were the nicest (and fastest!) greens I have played on in a while. Smooth as silk. Not many ballmarks on a bermuda green; the root structure is very thick but the golf balls will "stick" if you spin them.
Man, it was hot but I seem to play better when it is hot. Shot 86 with a double bogey on the 18th and a stupid triple on front side for playing...well...stupidly!
This makes 3 times in 2 weeks I have played 18 holes of golf. With all the cycling going on, it seemed like I was semi-retired from golf. Funny thing is, Stonebridge is right near where the Up the Creek Without a Pedal cycling ride was held 2 weeks ago. I seem to be going to Rome a lot lately.
