THE 18TH HEADING BACK TO THE CLUBHOUSE.Went over to Bellview Biltmore one of the oldest courses in Florida and my "local". Designed by the famous Scots course designer Donald Ross it is always in excellent condition and has a beautiful large club house and all the usual amenities. Fairways were fantastic and greens good tho not as fast as they can be.
There were 2 surprises in store for me . The first was it was very quite and I was able to bomb round in 95 minutes. The green fee was only $29 as it is the summer and the later you play in the day the cheaper it gets. That was the total for a buggy and golf - fantastic value.
The second was that I played some of my best golf since having my knee butchered by the NHS last November and shot a 77 only 5 over for this tight testing course of some 6200 yards. Just shows you sometimes a break does you good (apart from a 2 ball tie I haven't hit a ball for 2 and a half weeks)
Next game is on Friday with Smarty as he is arriving tomorrow morning from a very wet Orlando. He has been swamped every day with heavy down pours lasting for hours sometimes.
Hopefully things remain dry here for him and we get a game in before he heads back inland.
