Ok, since my last post when I was wallowing in self pity, I have started to play a little better. I figured out my driver and though I don't have the length off the tee I used to have, I am much more accurate. Last 5 rounds have been 89, 88, 85, 86, 85. I'll drop from an 18.0, to a 15.6 when the next GHIN update rolls around. Hopefully I can continue this downward trend, but it is nice taking the Tick's $$$ for the time being."I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it". - Tommy Callahan III

Your game has been much better though.

Miguel Angel is a pretty disgusting chain smoker. His fingertips are permanently stained and he always has ash flying in the wind as he approaches the ball. Marlboros are $6 per pack, so a pack-a-day habit will cost $2200 per year.
In other golf news, my husband requested a punch card from Valley View in Davis for his birthday. I'm not familiar with the course, and I certainly didn't want to drive all the way over there to buy the punch card, so I googled "Valley View - Davis" and called the number listed on the website. I bought it over the phone, paying for it with a credit card and arranging for it to be mailed to my home. Five minutes after hanging up, I got this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, so I called the clubhouse back and asked, "I just bought a punch card about 5 minutes ago. Is this Valley View Golf Course?"
The guy answered, "Nope- It's Davis Golf Course."
"Oh Crap...umm..."
The guy interrupts me: "But the punch card is good at either course, so you're okay."
Whew.Last edited by Katy Lied; 06-12-2014, 12:25 PM.

I'm in the minority on this, but I actually prefer the track at Davis to the one at VV. I haven't been to Davis since the big wind storm that blew over so many trees. Maybe that would change my opinion, but without factoring that in, I prefer both Bountiful Ridge and Davis to Valley View.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostMiguel Angel is a pretty disgusting chain smoker.

Valley View is still a great course. I just don't care for the severely sloping fairways.

I really like both courses. Davis for me is a bit more relaxing as it is easier. Valley View for me is quite a test. I played Davis when it was first built. It was a 9 hole course and the first nine built is the back nine now.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostMiguel Angel is a pretty disgusting chain smoker.

How some great parties there. A good friend was the night watchman there at age 17.
He went on to become the head pro at Valley View and director of golf there.

I've got to go with VV. I think with a really well designed course you should be able to look back on it and remember what the holes actually looked like and other than 13 and 14, which kind of blend into each other, I think VV does a great job of this. I've stated my problems with Bountiful and Davis would be a nice course to play every day once you retire.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostI'm in the minority on this, but I actually prefer the track at Davis to the one at VV.

I just hope I don't have a repeat of last year. Hit an all time low index (14.2) and them proceeded to match it right up to a 20.7 over the next couple months. I'm surprised I kept with it.
